一些天氣的常用說法~~常常聽見人說錯!!

WEATHER天氣的說法l sunny/fine（天氣好）used to describe weather or a day when there is a lot of sunshine 例如:It is sunnytoday.
如果後面使用be動詞＋形容詞的句型，那麼主詞 it 也可以改成 the weather。所以也可以說 The weather is sunny today.
但是，絕對不能說 Ｘ The weather rained yesterday.
用 rain 或 snow 當動詞時，必須用 it 當假主詞：Ｏ It rained yesterday.
