Around every three months, we have a different season. There are four seasons each year and each one has different characteristics. Places far from the tropical line have more drastic changes in between seasons and places close to the tropical line have smoother changes between seasons.

Seasons of the year:

Spring: Warmer and longer days.

Summer: Hot and long days.

Autumn/Fall: Coller and shorter days.

Winter: Cold and short day.

Examples:

I like spring because of the flowers and the colors.

Summer is the best time to go to the beach.

Autumn is a nice season to find pumpkins.

It gets very cold during the winter, but it's good for soup.
