A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Draw a cloud, a sun and a patch of fog, then ask what clothes suit each condition.

  1. Have learners separate clues that describe weather from clues that name something to wear.
  2. Pair-check rain and rainy by asking which form fits the noun clue.
  3. After checking the grid, give pairs a weather forecast and ask what they would wear.

Support and extension

Use the note on jumper and sweater for a quick comparison of British and American vocabulary.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
