Surely many of you use French tongue twisters to improve pronunciation but what about improving your French vocabulary?
Do you have the terms and phrases for seasons in French in your ‘personal dictionary’?
Do you know which words we typically use in summer or autumn?
When fall (or autumn) comes, people usually like to improve their skills and work on themselves mentally and physically.
Perhaps it has to do something with going back to school, the beginning of learning and achieving something bigger than just lying the whole day on a sofa.
So, this is an ideal opportunity to learn new French words.
In this post, we are going to introduce you to seasons in French and help you improve your vocabulary.
Also, you can download and print the vocabulary list with all these words in the end.
Now, prepare yourself and start taking notes.
The word for season in French is une saison.
This noun is feminine, so when you have to use it, you use articles une, and la.
Moreover, if you use adjectives with this word, adjectives also have to be in the feminine gender.
For example, if you want to say favorite season, you say it saison préférée. So, as you see, the adjective préférée is feminine.
For plural form the -s is added to the word so if you want to say seasons, you say les saisons
As for the seasons in France, like in most parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, or fall, and winter.
Spring or le printemps is the masculine noun, like the other three seasons.
L’été or summer, l’automne or autumn/ fall, and l‘hiver or winter begin with vowels, so when adding the article you have to use the apostrophe.
Au printemps or in the spring, nature awakens.
Everything is full of colors, optimism, and positive thoughts.
This season consists of avril, mai, and juin, that is, April, May, and June.
Flowers bloom and trees are filling the landscape.
