I’ve been doing a Learning Unit about months, seasons and weather with my middle school students (aged 11). This morning I gave them very easy activities and questions such as: “What’s the weather like in your town today?”
Their answers were quite different: “Today the weather is cold and frosty”, “Today is really bad and windy”, “Today it’s terrible and depressing”.
I accepted all of their answers even if different subjects were used. What do you think?
PS Some of my students regularly use the definite article before the seasons, some others omit it. Again, I usually accept both forms. They seem natural to me. Do you agree?
Thanks a lot.
