Weather patterns
Lesson 1 · — Weather patterns
English often begins weather statements with “it is,” but Spanish doesnotuse one single matching structure. Learn each weather expression as a complete meaning unit.
| Spanish | English meaning | Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Hace calor. | It is hot. | hacer weather pattern |
| Hace frío. | It is cold. | hacer weather pattern |
| Hace sol. | It is sunny. | hacer weather pattern |
| Está nublado. | It is cloudy. | estar condition pattern |
| Llueve. | It is raining. | llueve weather form |
| Hay viento. | It is windy. | hay + weather noun |
Spanish–English comparison:do not translate English “it is” word by word. Choose the complete Spanish you learned pattern that matches the weather meaning.
Pronunciation recall: prior written stress, ll/y, and r/rr rules apply where present. No new pronunciation pattern is introduced here.
