Now you can talk about today's weather. Here are useful phrases:

  • How is the weather today? — We ask this to learn about the weather.
  • It is sunny today. — A common answer.
  • Is it hot? — A short question about one thing.
  • Yes, it is hot. — A positive answer.
  • No, it is not hot. It is warm. — A negative answer with a new word.

The pattern is simple: It is + weather word. For example: 'It is cold.' 'It is windy.' 'It is rainy.'

For a question, move is to the start: Is it cold? For a negative answer, use not: 'It is not cold.'

You can also add today to the end: 'It is hot today.' This is very common in English.

When you answer, you can use one word or many words. 'It is hot.' is short. 'It is very hot today.' is longer. Both are good. The most important thing is to be clear.

In the next dialogue, Emma and Tom talk about today's weather. Listen, then read along. Then you will practice the same sentences. After that, you will have a conversation about the weather.

في الجزء ده من الدرس، هنتمرن على الكلام عن حالة الجو النهاردة بالإنجليزي. الفكرة بسيطة جداً: بتبدأ بـ It is وبعدها بتحط كلمة من كلمات الطقس. يعني بالظبط زي ما بتقول "الجو حر النهاردة" بالعربي، بالإنجليزي بتقول "It is hot today".

القاعدة الأساسية: It is + weather word

النمط ده سهل وتلاقي نفسك بتستخدمه كتير في الحياة اليومية. شوف الأمثلة دي:

  • It is sunny. (الجو مشمس)
  • It is warm. (الجو دافي)
  • It is cold. (الجو بارد)
  • It is rainy. (الجو ممطر)
  • It is windy. (الجو فيه هوا)

ممكن كمان تزود today في الآخر عشان توضح إنك بتتكلم عن النهاردة تحديداً، فتقول: "It is warm today."

الأسئلة: حرك is لل أول

لو عايز تسأل سؤال، بتنقل is للي بداية الجملة. يعني بدل ما تقول "It is cold"، بتسأل Is it cold?. كده بتفتح موضوع جديد مع صاحبك وبده يرد عليك.

الإجابة بالنفي: not

لو مش موافق على الكلام، بتحط not بعد is. فبدل "It is hot" بتقول It is not hot، وبعدها ممكن تضيف وصف تاني زي "It is warm." ده بيسمّيه في الإنجليزي correction، يعني بتصلّح المعلومة الغلط.

الحوار العملي

في المثال اللي هتتمرن عليه، Emma بتفتح الكلام مع Tom وتقول Hi Tom! How is the weather today? و Tom بيرد Hi Emma! It is sunny today. بعدين Emma بتسأل Is it hot? و Tom يقول No, it is not hot. It is warm. وفي الآخر Emma بتقول I like warm weather و Tom يرد Me too. Let's go outside! الحوار ده قصير وسلس، وبيورّيك إنك ممكن تكمّل المحادثة بجملة قصيرة أو بس بكلمة واحدة.

نصيحة أخيرة

لما تتكلم، خلي صوتك واثق ومستريح. مفيش إجابة غلط طالما واضحة. يلا نبدأ!

Today we learn words for weather. Weather is the way the air is outside. We see it and we feel it every day. Sometimes the sun is high in the sky. Sometimes rain falls down. Sometimes clouds cover the sky. Sometimes wind blows hard. Weather changes every day.

In English, we use these words to talk about weather. Sunny means the sun is in the sky. Rainy means water falls from the sky. Cloudy means clouds are in the sky. Hot means it is very warm. Cold means it is not warm. Warm means it is a little hot, but not very hot. Windy means wind blows hard. Snow is white cold water that falls from the sky.

We can use these words with it is or with today is. For example: 'It is sunny today.' or 'Today is cold.' Both are good. The word it is the most common way to start a weather sentence in English.

كلمات الطقس في الإنجليزي 🌤️

النهاردة هنتعلم كلمات أساسية بتستخدمها كل يوم لما تتكلم عن الطقس. الطقس هو حالة الجو بره - حر، برد، شمس، مطر، تلج - وكل ده بيتقال بكلمات بسيطة في الإنجليزي. الكلام ده هتحتاجه كل يوم عشان تقدر تقول لصاحبك إيه الجو النهارده، أو تفهم حد بيوصفلك الجو.

القاعدة الأساسية: It is + صفة

في الإنجليزي، أغلب جمل الطقس بتبدأ بـ It is وبعدها بتيجي الصفة. خلي بالك، الصفة في الإنجليزي بتيجي بعد is، مش قبلها زي ما إحنا متعودين في العربي. وكمان لاحظ إن it هنا مقصود بيها الجو أو الطقس، مش حد معين.

الكلمات بالتفصيل

  • Sunny (مشمس): لما الشمس طالعة في السما والسماء صافية
  • Rainy (ممطر): لما المطر بينزل من السما
  • Cloudy (غايم): لما السما متغطية بالسحاب ومش شايف الشمس
  • Hot (حار): لما الجو حر أوي ومحتاج تيشيرت خفيف
  • Cold (بارد): لما الجو بارد ومحتاج جاكيت تقيل
  • Warm (دافئ): لما الجو مش بارد ومش حر، يعني مظبوط
  • Windy (عاصف): لما الهوا قوي والشعور بيبرد أكتر
  • Snow (تلج): المية البيضاء اللي بتنزل من السما في الشتا، ودي اسم مش صفة

طريقة تانية: Today is

ممكن كمان تبدأ الجملة بـ Today is بدل It is. الاتنين صح ومنتشرين في الكلام:

  • It is warm today. ⇄ Today is warm.
  • It is windy today. ⇄ Today is windy.

بس خلي بالك، It is هي الأشهر والأكتر استخدامًا في المحادثات اليومية.

جمل كاملة كأمثلة

  • It is sunny and warm today. (النهارده مشمس ودافئ)
  • It is cold and rainy today. (النهارده برد وممطر)
  • It is cloudy and windy today. (النهارده غايم وعاصف)

نصيحة للتمرين 🎯

أول حاجة، اسمع كل كلمة في الكروت اللي تحت. تاني حاجة، قولها بصوت عالي عشان تتمرن على النطق. تالت حاجة، حاول تعمل جملة كاملة عن الجو عندك النهارده - مش لازم تبقى نفس الأمثلة، استخدم كلماتك الخاصة وقولها براحتك. لو غلطت متقلقش، المهم تحاول.
