✦Grammar Breakdown
J'aimepasquandilfaittrèschaud
Elision (J')
The vowel‑starting verb 'aime' causes the subject pronoun 'je' to drop the 'e' and become 'j''.
Colloquial negation (pas without ne)
In spoken French the particle 'ne' is often omitted, leaving just 'pas' after the verb.
Weather expression (il fait)
For weather we use the impersonal construction 'il fait' followed by an adjective.
Intensifier (très)
Place 'très' directly before the adjective it modifies—in this case 'chaud'.
Conjunction (quand)
Use 'quand' to introduce a temporal clause meaning 'when'.

✕Common Mistakes
J'aime pas quand il fait très chaud.
In formal writing you need the full negation 'je n'aime pas'.
J'aime pas quand très chaud il fait.
The adjective must follow the verb 'fait', not precede it.
J'aime pas quand il fait très chaud.
The negation must stay attached to the verb 'aime', not to the clause.
↔Alternatives
Je n'aime pas quand il fait très chaud.
I don't like it when it's very hot.
Je déteste la chaleur intense.
I hate intense heat.
Je n'apprécie pas les grosses températures.
I don't appreciate high temperatures.
Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic ice‑breaker in French culture. The impersonal 'il fait' is used for all weather conditions. Remember that dropping the 'ne' (as in 'J'aime pas') is perfectly natural in spoken French, but keep the full 'je n'aime pas' for writing or formal situations.
