Hi Bob the Canadian here. You can see behind me that we have quite a few clouds today.
So I thought I would do a video to help you learn English and talk about rain and snow - where rain goes after it falls and kind of just teach you some English along the way.
So if you look up in the sky behind me you can see that we have some dark clouds. We could call these dark clouds.
We could call them rain clouds. If they were a little bit darker I would probably call them storm clouds, and two things fall
out of the sky, two kinds of water. We have raindrops, so a raindrop is, is the smallest little drop of water that falls out
of the sky. And you can’t quite see it but the other thing that can fall is snow, and snow falls
as snowflakes. So you can have raindrops that fall out of the sky and you can have snowflakes.
There’s a couple different kinds of rain that falls out of the sky. You can have a drizzle.
A drizzle is when hardly any rain is falling out of the sky. You can have a sprinkling.
You can say it’s sprinkling outside. When it’s sprinkling outside it means that even bigger drops are falling.
