1 -grades o degrees?-
Nota d'usoPer indicare la temperatura si usa il sostantivo degree, non grade: Today's temperature is 20 degrees, oggi c'è una temperatura di 20 gradi. Inoltre, quando si parla di gradi, si usa il verbo al singolare, perché il soggetto è sempre la temperatura: It was 30 degrees yesterday, ieri c'erano 30 gradi (non There were 30 degrees yesterday). La parola grade possiede molti significati, che hanno comunque a che fare con una scala di riferimento (qualità, voti, classi della scuola): low grade tea, tè di bassa qualità; He always gets good grades, prende sempre dei buoni voti.
