Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If a Frenchman says that 'il pleut', what is the weather like?

Answer: raining

From the verb 'pleuvoir', to rain.

2. If the forecast announces 'une journ�e ensoleill�e' what is the most practical thing to take with you when you go out?

Answer: sunglasses

'Le soleil' is sun, so the phrase means 'a sunny day'.

3. If you were expecting fog, what term should you expect to hear in the forecast?

Answer: brouillard

'Le vent' is wind, 'la pluie' is rain, 'froid' is cold. Of course, you could get all of these at once!

4. If you were told to expect 'mauvais temps', what weather could you expect?

It means nasty weather, or bad weather, so it could be any of these and more. Note: (the) weather - le temps.

5. What would be the most useful accessory on a day that is expected to be 'tr�s froid'?

Answer: gloves

'Froid' is cold, so it would be a very cold day.

6. Which term means 'it's snowing'?

Answer: il neige

7. Which of these would you definitely NOT need on a day that is 'froid' et'nuageux'?

Answer: bikini

You may or may not need the other things. 'Nuage' is cloud, so it means a cloudy day.

'Orage' is a storm, so it means stormy weather.

9. What type of weather would feature if you were told to expect '�claircies'?

'Une �claircie' is a short period of sun. '�clair' is lightning (as well as a cake!)

Nice weather is different for different situations and people of course.
