Questions & Answers about Aquí está despejado y muy soleado.
Why do we use está for this weather sentence instead of hace?
We use está (from the verb estar, meaning to be) because we are describing a temporary condition using adjectives. Both despejado (clear) and soleado (sunny) are adjectives describing how the sky looks right now. We use hace with nouns, like hace calor (it makes heat) or hace viento (it makes wind).
Can I say hace soleado instead?
Why do despejado and soleado end in -o? Do they ever change to -a?
When talking about the weather in general, these adjectives default to the masculine singular form ending in -o. You can think of them as describing el clima (the weather) or el cielo (the sky), which are both masculine nouns, so the adjectives must match them.
Is aquí always placed at the beginning of the sentence?
Not always! Spanish word order is quite flexible. You could also say Está despejado y muy soleado aquí, and it would mean the exact same thing. Putting aquí at the beginning just adds a little emphasis to the location.
