Ask about current weather and answer with simple descriptions.
The idea
Ask What is the weather like? and answer It is sunny, It is cold or It is windy. For rain in progress, say It is raining. Here it is the subject used for weather; it does not name a particular object. Choose words that match what you observe.
Examples
- What is the weather like today?
- It is sunny and warm.
- It is raining now.
- It is cold outside.
- Take a jacket; it is windy.
- It is cloudy this morning.

Watch out
Do not leave out it or the verb in these statements: say It is cold, not Is cold. Rainy is an adjective; raining is a verb form.
