✕Common Mistakes

Missing the verb "c'est"; French requires a verb to link the subject and adjective.
Le temps humide, est pas agréable.
Incorrect subject‑verb order; you need the contraction "c'est" not "est pas".
La temps humide, c'est pas agréable.
Wrong article; "temps" is masculine, so the article must be "le," not "la."

Cultural Tip
In spoken French, native speakers often drop the "ne" and say "c’est pas" instead of the grammatically complete "ce n’est pas." In formal writing you would keep the "ne." Also, "temps" can refer to both "weather" and "time," so context tells you which meaning is intended. In Quebec French the same phrase is used, but you may also hear "c’est pas agréable" pronounced with a slightly different intonation.
