He is Cold

[baraahadri]

In my daughter's "3rd english book" I found the following sentence which I think is not correct:

"He is cold . He should put on his sweater"

Is the use of "He is cold" is Ok in this context?

[rewboss]

Yes; it's perfectly normal English. It means exactly the same as "he feels cold".

Also, we have:

He is warm.
He is hot.
He is hungry.
He is thirsty.
He is tired.

...and so on.

[matilda]

yes.why not.
it is completely correct

Ok thank you all for your nice answers
I thought that the use of
"he feels cold" is more suitable

but thanks to your replies I know that both answers is OK , but I am not going to use "he is cold" in my speech . I do not like it


thanks again
