Please use an inanimate subject.

To be honest, I'm not really sure about how to use inanimate subjects. I don't understand the standard about using them. In any case, now I'll try to make some sentences using them, so please check these sentences out:
1. The heavy rain prevented me from going out.
2. A curfew prevented me from going out at night.
3. His abundant knowledge enabled him to invent a new machine.
4. A sunny weather enables me to go out.
5. My poor salary makes my drinking alcohol at nice bars impossible.
