Grammar in focus · el tiempo atmosférico

Spanish describes weather in three ways. 1) hace + noun: hace sol, hace frío, hace calor, hace viento, hace buen/mal tiempo. 2) está + adjective: está nublado (cloudy), está despejado (clear). 3) Single weather verbs: llueve (it rains, from llover), nieva (it snows, from nevar). Note these are NOT 'es' or 'está' — just the verb alone. The seasons are la primavera, el verano, el otoño, el invierno. To talk about a season, use en: 'En verano hace calor', 'En invierno nieva.'

Write it yourself

Write 3 sentences about the weather in two seasons and a plan that depends on it.
