The Seasons
Spring | Summer | Autumn | Winter
In the UK there are four seasons. Each season is spread over 3 months:-
Spring | ||
March | April | May |
Summer | ||
June | July | August |
Autumn | ||
September | October | November |
Winter | ||
December | January | February |
Each season has distinctive weather and cultural significance:-
Spring |
|
In spring the days grow longer, the weather is warmer but it often rains and can get very windy. We celebrate Easter in the spring. |
Summer |
In summer the days are long and the weather's usually warm and sometimes even hot. We usually go on holiday in the summer. |
Autumn | ||
September | October | November |
In autumn the days get shorter, it gets colder and the leaves fall from the trees. We celebrate Halloween in autumn. |
Winter |
|
In winter the days are short and it is generally cold and often wet, sometimes it snows. We celebrate Christmas in the winter. |
Prepositions of time
We use in for seasons.
For example:
In Russia it is cold in (the) winter.
Most of the seasons have their own adjective.
Spring |
There is no real adjective, but you could say "spring like". For example:- The weather is very spring like. |
Summer |
The adjective is summery. For example:- I like summery weather. |
Autumn |
The adjective is autumnal. For example:- There is an autumnal feeling in the air. |
Winter |
The adjective is wintry. For example:- The forecast said there would be wintry showers tomorrow. |
! The names of days and months always begin with a CAPITAL letter but seasons don't.
For example:-
Christmas is in December during the winter. I like it when Christmas Day is on a Sunday.
