Talking about the weather

When we talk about the weather in English, we can make a wide variety of descriptions
or we can use different expressions to describe the weather. Let’s see how we can ask
about the weather, before these descriptions.
Attention:
“It is” and “Is it” are generally used while talking about the weather.

We generally use some common structures, while answering the questions about the weather.
These are.
“It + BE (with different tenses like is, was, will be, etc.) + Adjectives ( like sunny, cloudy, rainy,
etc.)”
“It + BE (with different tenses like is, was, will be, etc.) + a + Adjectives + day (or
morning/afternoon/night, etc.)”
“It + is/was + V-ing (like snowing, raining, shining, etc.)” (now, at that time )
We can also use other structures to describe the weather.
Examples:

 It is sunny.

 It will be a rainy day tomorrow.

 It is snowing.

 There is a sun after the rain.

 Bit nippy today.

 We’re in for frost tonight.
