✕Common Mistakes
Oui, les température vont baisser.
The noun “température” is plural here, so the article must be “les”.
Oui, les températures vont descendre.
While “descendre” can mean “to go down”, it is not idiomatic for temperature; use “baisser”.
Oui, les températures va baisser.
Because “températures” is plural, the auxiliary must agree: “vont”.

Cultural Tip
In everyday French, people often say “il fera plus frais” or “le temps va se rafraîchir” rather than the more literal “les températures vont baisser”. The verb “baisser” is perfectly correct but sounds a bit more technical, so you’ll hear it more in weather reports than in casual conversation.
