So, on with the show! Well start by to Harvey, talking about the weather where

he lives. And we have a question for you at home.

autumn and winter. In , it's raining right now. Sometimes it snows in the winter. In the

STING

Rob

So, that's Harvey. And we asked you about the weather in spring. it like?

Catherine

Harvey said that the weather gets quite windy in spring.

Rob

Well done if you got right. And well talk more about windy weather later. First, lets'

talk about the rain! Listen to this clip:

There's a lot of rain in the autumn and winter.

Catherine

In this sentence, rain is a noun, so a sentence, we can say there is a lot of rain, or we

can add a main verb, for : I like rain. Rob - how do you feel about rain?

Rob

I hate rain because I like to a lot of cycling and when it rains I get wet. But the word

rain can also be a . For example: it rains a lot here in London; in fact, look out the

window: it's raining now!

Catherine

always raining in London! And can add a letter 'y' to the end of rain to make the

adjective . Rob, do you use an umbrella on rainy days?

Rob

No I dont', I wear a coat  � more .

Catherine

More ''!*%blokey'!

Rob

More ''blokey', yes. So that's the noun  � rain; the verb  � rain; and the  � rainy. The

word snow works in the same way. Listen to this another clip.

INSERT

Sometimes it snows the winter.

Catherine

Sometimes it snows in winter. The word snow there is a verb.

Rob

As a noun, can say: sometimes there is snow.

Catherine

Or we can add the letter 'y' to make an adjective. Sometimes snowy.

Rob

Good. Now for another clip. Here's Harvey talking about the weather in Spring.

INSERT

In the spring weather's usually quite windy.

Catherine

In the spring the weather's usually quite windy. In this sentence, windy is an .

Rob

We can also use the word wind as a noun. Is there much wind today Catherine?

Catherine

There's a lot actually, I got quite blown around. So that's wind as a noun and windy

as an adjective, we can't use wind as a verb. You have to use a different verb like blow.

The wind is very hard today…

Rob

Right. And the word sun is the same. It's a noun:

Catherine

The sun is

Rob

It can make an adjective:

Catherine

It's lovely and sunny…

Rob

But it isn't a verb. You need different word for that.

Catherine

The sun is shining, even though it isnt'!

IDENT

6 Minute Vocabulary from BBC English.

Rob

And were looking at weather words. Ok, it's quiz time! Are these sentences correct or

wrong? Number . It's sunning today.

Catherine

That's wrong. You can't say it's sunning, because sun isn't a verb. Instead, say it's

or the sun is shining.

Rob

Number two. There was a lot of snow last week.

Catherine

And that's .

Rob

Here comes the last one. I don't like windy.

Catherine

And that's also wrong. Windy is an adjective, we need to add a noun here. Say: I dont'

like windy weather. Or, use wind as a noun say: I don't like wind.

Rob

And that's the end of the quiz. Well done if you got those . And weve just got time for

a top tip for learning vocabulary.
