### Expressing Dates

To talk about specific dates in Spanish, use the formula **el** + [number] + **de** + [month].

{{item:772795}}

{{item:772796}}

{{item:772798}}

Notice that in Spanish, the day always comes before the month.

### The Four Seasons

There are four seasons (**las estaciones**) in a year. Just like months, the names of the seasons are not capitalized in Spanish.

| English | Spanish |
| --- | --- |
| spring | la primavera |
| summer | el verano |
| autumn | el otoño |
| winter | el invierno |

You will usually include the definite article (**el** or **la**) with seasons, even after the preposition **en** (in).
