What is 'Il pleut' when translated from French to English?

"It rains" is a literal English equivalent of the French phrase Il pleut. The pronunciation of the present indicative in the third person impersonal singular -- which famously references the opening line (Il pleure dans mon coeur comme il pleut sur la ville, "It cries in my heart like it rains over the city") of a poem by Paul-Marie Verlaine (March 30, 1844 - January 8, 1896) and which also translates as "It does rain, It is raining" -- will be "eel pluh" in French.

Can you say It rains today?

Possibly in writing but not generally and certainly not in speech.To describe the weather we normally use the progressive form of the appropriate verb: It is raining today, or it is snowing. In weather terms, the basic present tense is used for customary actions (It rains twice a week in the Winter) or for gnomic statements (it never rains but it pours). We might say " It rains today" as part of a longer expression, for example saying "Naturally it rains today: we're supposed to have a picnic," but never when what we mean is simply that today's weather is rain.
