Doubt about temperature
|
|
Is it ok to say: "I got -17ºC in Vermont." or "I caught -17ºC in Vermont"
Does it sound ok? If not, how could it be expressed? Thanks in advance. |

I would say, "It was -17 degrees Celcius in Vermont." In some contexts one could say, "I got -17 degrees," for example as the answer to a test question in science. Caught does not work. |

If you are talking with a friend from another part of the world, you might say, “I had -17ºC in Vermont,” in response to “What temperature did you have?” |

Aperkins4 - what if it�s not a question, I just want to express my experience in another country. Can I say...
I had -17 in Vermont
