A big difference is in how one describes (current) weather conditions. In English one says:
"It [the weather] is beautiful."
"It is cold."
"It is hot." etc.
In French one does not use the verb "to be" in this case; one uses the verb "faire," which normally translates as "to do" or "to make." Examples:
It [the weather] is beautiful --> Il fait beau.
It is cold --> Il fait froid.
It is hot --> Il fait chaud.
