Trivium Academy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is so embarrassing but I want to get it right :blush: I bought a perpetual French calendar that includes a weather wheel so that the kids can move the hand to indicate the type of weather outside. Please tell me what these are and the correct wording/grammar: Pluie (I know this mean rain but what in what tense? It is raining is Il pleut, right?) Temps ennsoleillé (Sunny weather?) Brouillard (fog) Temps venteux (windy) Gréle (hailstorm) Verglas (ice) Neige (snow) Orage (thunderstorm) Passages nuageux (would this be partly cloudy?) Temps nuageux (cloudy weather?) How would you use these words in a sentence? I haven't learned this yet and I want to be able to have model sentences for these. I have helps like En janvier, il neige. En avril, il fait du vent. I'd like to be able to model It is ____ today. I know that is Il fait ________ aujourd'hui. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mittmaman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You could use "Il y a de la pluie/grele/etc...." et "Il y a du brouillard, etc...aujourd'hui". Not very elegant, but certainly correct and this form could be used with the different nouns you have on your chart. P.S. "il pleut" is correct, too! HTH!
