Hello!
Now I have a question.
When I say"It thunders", I was said "Thunder is not a verb, so you cannot write so" by my friend.
But web dictionary says it can be used as a verb.
Of course I know dictionary sometimes says incorrect expressions.
So I want to know "It thunders" is merely unnatural or incorrect.

When I say"It thunders", I was told "Thunder is not a verb, so you cannot write so" by my friend.
I would say that the phrase 'it thunders' doesn't sound incorrect to me and the word 'thunder' can be used as a verb. You could also say 'There is thunder'. I don't see anything wrong with saying 'it thunders' though.
Next time I try to use it (o･∀･o)
Is "It thunders" incorrect expression?
The expression grammatically correct, but you probably mean: It is thundering. When you use the simple "thunders", you are describing a typical or habitual action, or a truth. When you use "thundering", you are describing what is happening right now.
But if somebody asks, "What happens right after lightening?", the correct answer is, "It thunders."
When I say"It thunders", I was told said "Thunder is not a verb, so you cannot write so" by my friend.
Thunder can be either a noun or a verb. These sentences are all correct:
The thunder scared my dog.
Thunder is the sound made by lightening.
When it thunders, my dog is afraid.
It is thundering so loudly that my ears hurt.
It thundered several times this afternoon, but we didn't see the lightening.
But the web dictionary says it can be used as a verb.
Of course I know dictionary sometimes gives says incorrect expressions.

I think it sounded incorrect to your friend because you meant to say, "It is thundering."
Thanks a lot for your kindness!
