 Re: Weather
"How's the weather?" is probably ok. The important bit is your own interpretation of what the apostrophe indicates is missing from the question, and what other bits are missing from the question (because the sentence is so well known by everyone that the whole of it doesn't need to be stated).
This could be interpreted as "How is the weather behaving today?".
The question "How's the weather like?" isn't very good. It would be expanded to be "How is the weather like today?" which should really be "What is the weather like today?".
The key to all English is being able to put back the missing words in the right place in a sentence. If in doubt, expand the sentence and then see if it sounds correct. |
