Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about the quiz called “It's a Lovely Day” but your teacher will probably talk to you about "Weather Words and Terms". If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
One thing that most people from other countries know about the British (and they often laugh about it) is that we spend a lot of time talking about the weather. We suspect that other nationalities also talk a lot about the rain, the snow, the heat and the cold - they certainly would do if, like us, they lived on an island where different weather can come in very quickly off the sea.
You will be using weather words and terms a great deal in Britain so it might be a good idea to refresh your memory about them now!
In English we quite often shorten-off a sentence once it is clear what the repeated verb would be.
('She asked me to open the door, but I already had [opened it for her].')
If it's raining already, that would explain why you can't see the faraway tree ... because the sky in between is half-full of drops of water!
