Full Idea
The correspondence of proposition and fact grows increasingly complicated as we pass to more complicated types of propositions: existence-propositions, general propositions, disjunctive and hypothetical propositions, and so on.
Clarification
A disjunction is 'either/or'; a hypothetical begins with 'if'
Gist of Idea
Propositions of existence, generalities, disjunctions and hypotheticals make correspondence tricky

A Reaction
An important point. Truth must not just work for 'it is raining', but also for maths, logic, tautologies, laws etc. This is why so many modern philosophers have retreated to deflationary and minimal accounts of truth, which will cover all cases.
