I have one questions about the way that I must to translate of the question above the hour.

For example, you are saying What does weather make?

I feel that this answer is incorrect

But anyhow I have other example.

This is correct What is your hour?

Or you tell me How must I say the question to one way correct.?

Dije, 'what does the weather make?' porque le ayuda a Vega entender la construcción de la oración y el orden de las palabras en español, pero la correcta traducción es 'How is the weather?'

espero que me entiendas

Ahahaha... My bad. El tiempo hace agradable todo el día de hoy - alrededor de 19C..Mucho de sol

Here's a generic question - with regard to the "order of words" - being Canadian and exposed to French, having some phrases appear "backwards" (to my standard English train of thought) is not totally alien to me, however is there any rule to follow when instead of saying "its a green car" in Spanish I would write the equivalent of "its a car green"?

Adjectives usually follow the noun, as they do in French. There are some adjectives that precede the noun, and some can go in either spot. There are some changes in meanings depending on where the adjective is placed. And there are some differences in spelling for a few adjectives when they precede the noun.

That's more than you needed to hear/know for now. The simple answer to your question is:
Es un coche verde. = It's a green car.
Es un carro verde. = It's a green car.
(There are two ways to say car in Spanish. Usage depends on the country.)

How is the weather? I studied "What's the weather like"

One friend of mine told me that her teacher had said that "What time is it?" wasn't used anymore, but "What time?". I was very surprised, is it correct? I see that you wrote "what time is it". I think "what time" sounds a bit impolite
