The term "hence" has it's usage, but there are plenty of other synonyms that usually work better. |
Such as Therefore?
It was raining Hence we didn't go.
It was raining Therefore we didn't go. |
Who would say that?
You'd simply say:
'It was raining, so we didn't go.'

Tell me if following are correct.
It's raining hence I'm not going there by foot.
I daresay those sentences are absoultly wrong.
Your conclusion was to obvious, I daresay. |

I daresay you dress sharply.
You're stupid, hence, I hate you. (I think?)
Your first sentence would be better as "It's raining therefore I'm not going there by foot."
And remember the difference between to, too and two. Its AMAZING how many people who are born into English homes mix that up...
Edit:
I daresay is used to brace someone that a compliment is coming soon. Like "I daresay you're looking dapper". It means "I must tell you, you're looking dapper!"
