'Yet' is used to show the contrast between two conditions and it is incorrect according to the context of the given sentence so it will be replaced by 'still'. Hence, 'still raining' will be the correct sentence structure. Still is used when something was happening in the past and is happening at the time of speaking too. Eg- He is still preparing for a government job.

If is used when a statement is giving a Conditional sense (means that will occur if we do this). Whether is used when we have to choose between two options for e.g. whether you want or not.

as well as also money
it will save you time

If you rent a house
as well as also money 'As well as' is a conjunction that means in addition. It connects two nouns, pronouns etc. to each other. So, use only 'money' in place of 'also money'. The conjunction 'as well as' is not immediately followed by also'. Hence the correct sentence will be as: If you rent a house near your office, it will save you time as well as money.

Paul was / bited by a dog / when he was a child.
when he
Paul was
bited by a dog
was a child
