How to use Fuku: grammar notes

•Use が with 吹く to show what is doing the blowing — for example, 風が吹いています means “The wind is blowing.”
•Don't use を with 吹く when talking about wind or air — it's not like "blowing" an object, so stick with が to describe natural forces.
•In the て-form, 吹いて can be used to describe ongoing weather — for example, 風が強く吹いています means “The wind is blowing strongly.”
