In french, why do you write "il pleut" instead of "ca pleut?'

Bonjour,

Answer:

"Il" = pronom impersonnel

Correct is : "Il pleut".

Exemple :

Il neige

Il grêle

Because il is a « pronom impersonnel ». Ex: Il fait froid (It is cold). Ça a « pronom » use for replacement. Ex: J’ai vu ce film. Ça fait peur. (I saw that movie. It is scary)
