- Are your ready to go to the supermarket?
- Yes, are you?
- I've got my money and my keys, so I'm ready.
- You do know that it's absolutely freezing out, don't you? I'd put a coat on if I were you.
- It wasn't cold out this morning.
- Well, it's started raining since then. Look out the window! It's pouring rain out there!
- Well, I guess we'd better grab our umbrellas then, as well.

- That's a good idea. But maybe we should move the car so that the hail doesn't dent it.
