Grammar Tips

Knowing some basic Spanish grammar can help you make weather sentences.

Usually, the subject comes before the verb. For example:

• Hace frío. (It is cold) – Here, “hace” is the verb that shows the weather.

When you use está (is), you talk about what the weather is like right now.

Hace is used for conditions that happen more often.
