Three questions

1b00First,02b00 the fact has been given that the "weather" is an uncountable noun and my question is "How the sentences below can have the "the" in front of the "weather?" Is that because the context or the flow of the sentence makes the placement of the "the" necessary? 02br
02br
01i00How is the weather? The weather is fine.02i02br
02br
01b00Secondly02b00, which of the following sentence is right? They are all trying to say the same thing.02br
02br
001) Please say "Hi" when you see me.02br
02br
002) Please say Hi when you see me.02br
02br
003) Please say 01i00Hi 02i00when you see me.02br
02br
01b00Thirdly,02b00 can I replace the underlined phrase into "a large number"? If so, how can we know when to use the two phrases, "a large number" and "large numbers of ," properly in a given situation?02br
02br
00Ex.02br
