1. It is raining, I should have taken an umbrella.

Is the second sentence correct? Thanks in advance.

In common language we some times use "hundreds of" or "thousands of". I am confuse on this issue that "can we use plural of hundred and thousand like this" plz tell me is it right or wrong.
I am always confused on how to address people in various communications such as - E mail, Letter, Telephone etc and also in closing the communication - What to use to close a leter or e mail, for example can we use Yours sincerely, yours faithfully etc while writing to our subordinates. When to use Regards, Warm Regards, Best regards and Kind regards etc
Can we say Dear Mr. First Name? or Dear Mr. First Name Last Name. Can we say Dear Ms. First Name only? How do we address a person, if we don't know if that person is a male or a female?

Take a look at these two sentences. What is the difference in meaning between them?
'I cut my hair.'
'I have my hair cut.'
'I cut my hair' means that I do it myself.
'I have my hair cut means someone cuts my hair for me (in this case it's probably a hairdresser).
We use have something done to mean another person does a service for us.
We use reported speech when we want to repeat what someone had previously said.
Let's look at the difference between direct speech and reported speech:
Direct Tomie said = 'I am tired.'

Which of the following is correct?
1) ... the percentage of cells was constant.
