Hi,

I have noticed these five questions in some college examination which was prepared by a non native English speaker. Thus, I am kindly requesting you to let me know which ones are incorrect.
I think the third and fourth are not phrased well. However, there shouldn’t have been a grab in the fourth one.

Fill the gaps with a suitable weather word:

We had really thick ــــــــــــ this morning.
When it’s hot, you still get a lovely ______ off sea.
We had a heavy ______ of rain this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
The hurricane completely _______ destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.
It’s quite hot when the sunshine is out.

If I had to correct them, I would have put the gaps as follows:
we had really thick _____ this morning.
When it’s hot, you still get a lovely______ off sea.
We had a heavy ____ this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
The hurricane completely destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.
It’s quite hot when the sun ______ out.

If I also had to answer them, I would have answered them as follows:
We really had thick clouds this morning.
The hurricane completely destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.
When it’s hot, you still get a lovely breeze off sea.
we had a heavy rain this morning, but it only lasted a few minutes.
It’s quite hot when the sunshine is out.

But nevertheless, they still need to be confirmed.

The question is fine. A better answer would be ‘we had really thick fog’ as that is uncountable.
You can have a lot of clouds, but if clouds are thick, they would cover the whole sky, so it would be uncountable ‘cloud’ — we had thick cloud this morning.

When it’s hot, you still get a lovely breeze off the sea.
the sea needs an article. It is countable.

We had heavy ______ rain this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
This is really bad.
Rain is uncountable — we had heavy rain.
or
we had lots of rain.
Also, the tenses are mixed. Both events should be in the past tense — we had heavy rain, but it only lasted a few minutes.

The hurricane completely _______ destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.
Yes, you are right, this gap is not a weather word.
The hurricane completely destroyed the village.

It’s quite hot when the sunshine is out.
Sunshine is not out — it is what happens when the sun is out.
It is quite hot in the sunshine, but it is cool in the shade.
It is quite hot when the sun is out, but cool when it is hidden behind the clouds.
It is quite hot when the sun comes out [from behind clouds].
Again, ‘to come out’ is not really a weather word, although it is the specific verb you use for when the sun appears or the clouds disappear.

But nevertheless, they still need to be confirmed.

Hi!

I am confused about your question:

In the first set, there is no gap in #5.
In the first set, #4 does not need any ‘weather-word’ to be inserted. The word ‘hurricane’ is the ‘weather-word’, and the gap can just be omitted.

The other three seem fine to me — my answers would be ‘thick fog’, ‘lovely breeze’, ‘shower of rain’. «Thick clouds» is also possible, as you say — though I expect ‘fog’ is the expected answer.»Thick fog» and «heavy clouds» are the more common co-locations.

I agree that ‘shower of rain’ seems redundant — however, if the examiner had not included the words ‘of rain’, you could answer anything you wanted:
We had a heavy fog this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
We had a heavy thunderstorm this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
We had a heavy snowfall this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
We had a heavy blizzard this morning, but it only last a few minutes.
We had a heavy shower this morning, but it only last a few minutes.

*************
In your suggested questions (the second set):
Your #3 could be answered by anything — as above.
Your #4 does not have a gap to fill — I guess the word ‘hurricane’ would be the one to ‘blank out’.
Your #5 does not omit the weather-word (sun), it simply omits the verb ‘is’ or ‘comes’.
«It’s quite hot when the sun is out.», «It’s quite hot when the sun comes out.»

***************
In your answers:
#1 — ‘We really had thick clouds this morning.’ -I think this is OK, but I would normally associate ‘thick’ with ‘fog’. Also you have misplaced the ‘really’ — «We had really thick clouds this morning.»
#2 — When it’s hot, you still get a lovely breeze off sea. — great.
#3 — we had a heavy rain this morning, but it only lasted a few minutes. — We do not have ‘a rain’ — «rain» is uncountable. We have a ‘shower’, ‘a drizzle’, ‘a rainstorm’, ‘a downpour’ or ‘a torrent’.
Together with ‘heavy’, ‘shower’, rainstorm’ or ‘downpour’ would be most normal.
«We had a heavy shower (of rain) this morning.»
#4 — The hurricane completely destroyed the village. There’s nothing left. — good
#5 — It’s quite hot when the sunshine is out. — We do not say ‘the sunshine is out’.
«It’s quite hot when the sun is out.» «It’s quite hot when the sun shines.» «It’s quite hot in the sunshine.»
«It’s quite hot when the sun comes out.»

Thanks Thar for your answer

Dragon,
Thanks to you too. Especially, the below one is very useful.

#3 — we had a heavy rain this morning, but it only lasted a few minutes. — We do not have ‘a rain’ — «rain» is uncountable. We have a ‘shower’, ‘a drizzle’, ‘a rainstorm’, ‘a downpour’ or ‘a torrent’.
Together with ‘heavy’, ‘shower’, rainstorm’ or ‘downpour’ would be most normal.
«We had a heavy shower (of rain) this morning.»

Btw, I have learned that one must use «the» before any natural landmarks. But I didn’t see you use it before sea. But Thar has highlighted the same. Is it a slip of mind?

Hi again salesh!

thar has managed to slip his answer in while I was typing and thinking at least three times this morning — I didn’t even notice on this one — I’ll read it and comment.

However — ‘the sea’ — perfectly correct. I don’t know if you’d call it a ‘slip of the mind’ exactly.
I have a habit of not fully reading sentences sometimes. The answer ‘breeze’ made sense, so I really never

read

the rest of the sentence — I copied and pasted it whenever I used it.
«Lazy oversight» might fit. Shhh

I also did not notice the ‘last’ rather than ‘lasted’ in #3. d'oh!

Thank you all of you.

These are the original formats of the questions:

Fill the gaps with a suitable weather word:

We had really thick ــــــــــــ this morning.
When it’s hot, you still get a lovely ______ off the sea.
We had a heavy ______ of rain this morning, but it only lasted a few minutes.
The hurricane completely _______ destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.
It’s quite hot when the sun ________ out.

I find the third( no need to say a heavy shower of rain since it is redundant. Also, shower is not a weather word), fourth(since no missing weather word) and fifth(since ‘is’, ‘come’, and ‘shine’ are not weather words) ones are not prepared well.

Yes, a shower is a weather word, it means rain that passes quickly, rather than lasts all day.
You can have a light shower, where you will not get too wet…

or you can have a heavy shower, where the rain does not last long, but while it lasts it very heavy, and you will get very wet.

A shower is short, as the weather front moves over you. It can be light, heavy, thundery — it is the duration that is the important point.

You have a very good response to your question so far, to which I would like add only what I think could be the best fill in for the blanks of numbers 3 and 4.

3. We had a heavy ______ of rain this morning, but it only last a few minutes.

We had a heavy spell/downpour of rain this morning, but it only last a few minutes.

4.The hurricane completely _______ destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.

The hurricane completely and utterly destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.

Yes, but also, ‘utterly’ in ‘The hurricane completely and utterly destroyed the village. There’s nothing left.’ is not a weather word as in the fifth one as well.

You are right about #4 and #5 — there is no missing ‘weather-word’.
#4 does not need any word, it is complete.
#5 just needs a verb ‘is’ or ‘comes’ or something similar.

About #3 — as I said, the ‘of rain’ is a bit redundant for general conversation, but it is needed in the question to give you the ‘clue’ of which word was expected. «Shower», «downpour» are both ‘weather-words’ which would fit.

I have just caught something about ‘really’,

Do you think it always comes after ‘had’ or som rule is around this?
