Common misconception

Pupils might assume 'deluge' is an adjective as most of the weather words have been adjectives.

Choose some words associated with the weather (take suggestions from the class and write them down). Look at each one and discuss if the word is a noun or an adjective. E.g. rain (noun), rainy (adjective), sun (noun), hot (adjective).
