Many of us have to deal with traffic on a daily basis. Here's how to talk about it in English, include expressions such as "traffic jam," "bumper-to-bumper," and "bottleneck."

There's more than one way to talk about the weather. In part 1 of this lesson, we talk about it in the present. We use nouns, verbs, and adjectives to describe the weather.

This time, let's talk about the weather in the past using nouns, verbs, and adjectives. If we use the past tense, we can talk about yesterday, last week, last month, or even last year.

In this lesson, we'll talk about the weather in the future. One way to express the future is with "going to": "It's going to rain." The second way is with "will": "It will rain." You will hear both in this video, so keep your eyes and ears open!
