Answer 6

Va-star-

1.tener frío means it is cold 2. tener calor means it is hot 3. hace viento means it is windy

Not quite:

Tener (to have) is used in certain expressions to indicate that a person (whomever tener is conjugated to) has (is experiencing) that condition.

Tengo frío—I am cold (I have the sensation of feeling cold)

Tengo hambre—I am hungry (I have (the sensation of) hunger)

Tengo celos de…—I am jealous of … (I have (the feeling of ) jealousy due to…)

¿Tienes sed?—Are you thirsty? (Do you have (the feeling of) thirst?)

Hacer (to make, do) is used in certain weather phrases. It is conjugated in the third person singular (with exactly who/what is making the weather left to one’s own viewpoint).

Hace viento—It is windy (…makes wind)

Hace frío—It is cold (…makes coldness)

Hace calor – It is hot (…makes heat)

Hace sol—It is sunny (…makes sun)

Answer 7

My husband took a Spanish class at our community college a couple of years ago. His teacher explained that hace is used god makes the weather, i.e. hace frio, he makes cold. Has anyone else heard this?

• Está nevoso. Es un día de nieve. God didn't make the snow? - qfreed Apr 11, 2011
• I think the explanation concerns hace being used for weather outside, not temperature/conditions inside. - qfreed Apr 11, 2011
