In the UK we have four seasons:-

Winter			Spring			Summer			Autumn
December	January	February	March	April	May	June	July	August	September	October	November
Dec	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov

Here is a poem that may help you remember the seasons:-

The seasons

Summer
The earth is warm, the sun's ablaze,
it is a time of carefree days;
and bees abuzz that chance to pass may see me snoozing in the grass.

Autumn
The leaves are yellow, red, and brown,
a shower sprinkles softly down;
the air is fragrant, crisp, and cool,
and once again I'm stuck in school.

Winter
The birds are gone, the world is white,
the winds are wild, they chill and bite;
the ground is thick with slush and sleet,
and I can barely feel my feet.

Spring
The fields are rich with daffodils,
a coat of clover cloaks the hills,
and I must dance, and I must sing to see the beauty of the spring.

(Jack Prelutsky)

Prepositions of time

We use in for seasons.

For example:

In Russia it is cold in (the) winter.

! The names of days and months always begin with a CAPITAL letter but seasons don't.
