✕Common Mistakes

  • Che tempo è domani?

    Using the present verb *è* (che tempo è domani?) is incorrect because the question refers to a future event; the future tense *farà* is required.

  • Che tempo farà domani.

    Leaving out the question mark or intonation can make the sentence sound like a statement rather than a question.

Cultural Tip

Talking about the weather is a classic ice‑breaker in Italy, especially in the north where conditions change quickly. Italians often add a personal comment (e.g., *Sarà una bella giornata per una passeggiata* – ‘It’ll be a nice day for a walk’). Remember that the future tense (*farà*) is preferred over the present (*è*) when you’re asking about tomorrow’s forecast.
