What Are the Four Seasons in English?
The year has four main parts, called seasons. Each season has different weather and different things happen in nature.
-
Spring: This season comes after winter. The weather gets warmer. Flowers start to grow, and trees get new leaves. It often rains in spring.
-
Summer: This is the hottest season. The days are long, and the sun shines a lot. People often go to the beach or do outdoor activities in summer.
-
Autumn (or Fall): This season comes after summer. The weather gets cooler. Leaves on the trees change color to red, orange, and yellow, and then they fall off. It can be windy.
-
Winter: This is the coldest season. The days are short, and the nights are long. Sometimes it snows. People wear warm clothes like coats and scarves in winter.
