Weather in forecasts: the impersonal and que + subjuntiu
The weather does without a doer: fa fred, plou, neva. For example: “Demà farà sol a tota la costa” — Tomorrow it will be sunny along the whole coast. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The weather does without a doer: fa fred, plou, neva.
About the past and the certain one speaks straight: Ahir va ploure tot el dia — yesterday it rained all day.
A forecast is about what is not yet. After "que" the verb changes form: Han anunciat que demà plogui. És possible que nevi al Pirineu — it may snow in the Pyrenees.
The forms come from the same verbs: plogui (ploure), nevi (nevar), faci fred (fer). A confident promise goes in the simple future: Demà farà sol.
Table
| form | meaning | example |
|---|---|---|
| farà sol | a confident forecast | Demà farà sol |
| que + subjuntiu | doubt in the forecast | que demà plogui |
| faci fred / hi hagi gelades | fer and haver-hi in the subjunctive | que faci fred |
By example
- Demà farà sol a tota la costaTomorrow it will be sunny along the whole coast
- Han anunciat que demà ploguiThey announced it will rain tomorrow
- És possible que nevi al PirineuIt is possible it will snow in the Pyrenees
How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
