Translation:Bonjour ! Il fait frais.

Any reason why I can't say 'bon matin' instead of 'bonjour' for good morning? - it doesn't allow it!

Can it also be used here: Le temps as well as Il fait. Like in the ex: Le temps est humid. Please advise.
Hey, first "cool" is really "frais" and not humide which is "humid".
You can totally say "Le temps est frais" in this case but french people prefer saying "il fait" when they speak about the weather so you will more hear "il fait frais" than "le temps est frais". Nevertheless some will use "le temps est" too, it's not a fault and you will be clearly undestood.
According to Sitesurf ''Il y a'' is used with what you can sense - nouns (fog, rain, snow) and ''il fait'' is used with adjectives (cold, hot, humid)
Why is Bonjour! le temps il fait frias wrong? Why is the le temps part not in the sentence?
It is a misleading question, because it says in English "The weather is cool," but the French "Le temps est frais" sounds weird, but to say, "Le temps, il fait frais" or what I put "Le temps fait frais" is marked incorrect. French would just say, "Il fait frais," but that doesn't seem like a direct translation, since it leaves out "the weather".
It feels like this answer deserves some consideration - 'le temps est frais' doesn't sound right
Because you have two subjects for the same verb (fait) in this case. So either to say( le temps fait )OR (il fait)
"froid" means "cold" as opposed to "cool" so it needs to be "frais" in this case.
No you never say il frais. Instead just say C'est pas chaud, it just means it's not that hot outside
Froid ou frais, I can't understand. When I choose frais the correct answer is froid, and vice-versa, I am confused. But I am aware to Duo using this trick towards the end of the test to hold me from passing it!
