Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

1. There's no hyphen unless you're inverting (faut-il).
2. You would say 'Le temps est pluvieux' (the weather is rainy) or 'Il fait pluvieux'.

Merci beaucoup Casca!

Or il pleut

That's the basic way of saying it's raining

[dark flare]

Just "Il pleut"? No need for "Fait" like "Il fait pleut"?

[quiet skiff]

No, you don't mix the verbs.
Il fait beau/gris/pluvieux/etc. -> Il fait + adjective.
Il pleut -> It rains.

[celest abyss]

Il fait pleut is incorrect because pleut is a verb

In English it's "it is raining" so you have two verbs but it's actually a compound tense that we don't have in French
