Common Grammar Mistakes Hindi Speakers Make

Hindi speakers often face these pitfalls when talking about weather in English:

  1. Forgetting “It’s”:
    • Wrong: “Rainy today.”
    • Right: “It’s rainy today.”
    • Why? English uses “It’s” as a dummy subject for weather. Hindi skips this, like “Aaj baarish hai.”
  2. Mixing Tenses:
    • Wrong: “It will rainy tomorrow.”
    • Right: “It will be rainy tomorrow.”
    • Why? Use “be” with “will” for future weather adjectives.
  3. Overusing Articles:
    • Wrong: “The weather is the cold.”
    • Right: “The weather is cold.”
    • Why? Weather adjectives don’t need “the” before them.
