Let's look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

¡Hace mucho calor!

¡Hace mucho frío!

¡Hace mucho viento!

¡Hace buen tiempo!

¡Qué calor hace!

Did you notice how I used a different pattern?

Víctor Trejo: ¡Qué calor hace!

"How hot it is!" Or in more natural English, “How hot!”

¡Qué calor hace!

First is qué, “what...,” or "how...," in this context. Qué (enunciated). Qué.

Next is calor, "heat." Calor.

Finally, hace, translating as “is,” as in “[It] is,” in this context. Hace.

All together, ¡Que calor hace! literally “What heat it makes,” but translates as “How hot!” ¡Que calor hace!

This pattern uses an exclamation, and it’s meant to elicit a response from the listener.

The pattern is:

¡Qué WEATHER CONDITION hace!

"How WEATHER CONDITION it is!"

To use this pattern, simply replace the WEATHER CONDITION placeholder with a weather condition.

Note, this pattern requires a noun.

For example, ¡Qué frío hace! “How cold it is!” Or in more natural English, “How cold!” ¡Qué frío hace!

You should be aware of this pattern, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
