Unit 3: Having Fun in the Seasons
Summary: The Four Seasons
Key points
- There are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer and autumn.
- A year has twelve months; each season has three months in Tunisia.
- Months always start with a capital letter: January, April, October.
- We describe the weather with It’s + adjective: It’s sunny, it’s rainy.
- Noun + y = adjective: rain ➡️ rainy, cloud ➡️ cloudy, wind ➡️ windy.
Rules to remember
Noun + y
rain ➡️ rainy, snow ➡️ snowy, cloud ➡️ cloudy, wind ➡️ windy.
Double the letter
One vowel + one consonant: sun ➡️ sunny, fog ➡️ foggy.
Asking about the weather
What’s the weather like? — It’s windy and cold.
How to do it
- Find the weather noun (rain, sun, cloud…).
- Look at the end of the word: one vowel + one consonant? Double it.
- Add -y.
- Use it after It’s: It’s sunny.
Example
There is a lot of rain today. ➡️ It’s rainy today.
Common mistakes
- *It’s suny.* ➡️ It’s sunny.
- *in april* ➡️ in April
- *It’s rain.* ➡️ It’s rainy.
