Answer 1

i think hace llueve or whether it is hot or cold hace frío y hace calor

Although "hace frío" and "hace calor" are quite normal, the following thread makes it quite clear that "hace lluvia" is not, and "hace llueve" does not even make sense:

I would go with:

llueve= it rains

Está lloviendo= it is raining

Va a llover= it is going to rain

llovió= it rained

llovía= it was raining

ha llovido= it has rained

lloverá= it will rain

había llovido= it had rained

etc.

Answer 2

Can one say - Estoy caminando en la llueva. I am walking in the rain. ?

• Ray, the noun is la lluvia, llueva would be subjunctive form (like maybe in I hope it rains tonight: espero que llueva esta noche?) - Stadt Nov 11, 2011
• "Estoy caminando en la lluvia" sounds good to me, but I will quote Gary, and say I am learning too. ;-) - Stadt Nov 11, 2011
• Thank you mate that sounds better , let us say it was a typo i missed out on the I that is all. - ray76 Nov 11, 2011

Answer 3

Well first you have to find the verb for "to rain" then go to our conjugator under the MORE section in the toolbar.

Answer 4

so what is the appropiate way to conjugate weather terms?

OK, here's the situation. You asked the above question after you asked

How do you congugate the word rain?

I told you how to conjugate the verb llover which is the verb for "to rain". So do you want to know how to say a weather term or how to conjugate a verb? I'm confused.

Answer 5

weather expressions

Concerning Hacer:

Like the idioms that use tener, these idioms also contain a noun.

so as Stadt points out if hace(r) was used to mean it is raining it would have to be hace lluvia.

However, hace lluvia is not used.

hace lluvia

otro

Está llovioso, llueve, está lloviendo

As far as conjugating llover, you might wish to read this article on defective verbs.

1. Verbs that logically are conjugated in the third person only. These verbs, sometimes known as impersonal verbs, are the verbs of weather and natural phenomena, such as amanecer (to dawn), anochecer (to get dark), helar (to freeze), granizar (to hail), llover (to rain), nevar (to snow), relampaguear (to flash lightning) and tronar (to thunder).

Answer 6

um actually that didnt work. I got a message saying that Your word could not be found. Please enter a Spanish verb infinitive. What did I do wrong? the word they gave me is lluvia.

• Sorry Ashira, you should have looked up "rain", that would have given you the different forms and 'llover' would be what you need. - Yeser007 Nov 11, 2011

Answer 7

ok i think i got the right infitive. I am taking spanish 101 so alot of these conjugations don't make sense to me...It looks like its giving me the conjugation for if your saying We are raining um people can't rain. so what is the appropiate way to conjugate weather terms?

Answer 8

Well, actually people can rain. A dictator can rain terror down on his subjects, your eyes can rain tears, I mean there are many literal uses of the word but for "it rains" you have llueve, "it rained" llovió and so on.

• Wow Yeser007 , you are a mine of information , great mate thanks for that. - ray76 Nov 11, 2011

Answer 9

well not acording to my college spanish profesor. For the purposes of the test I can say it rains in spanish as in i think hace llueve or whether it is hot or cold hace frío y hace calor.

• Ashira, Stadt would be the one to listen to as I am just learning myself but in either case please remember to use proper capitalization and punctuation here, because it is mandatory. - Yeser007 Nov 11, 2011
