Months, Seasons, and Dates

Notes:

1. The written lesson is below.
2. Links to quizzes, tests, etc. are to the left.

Here are the months in Spanish. Note that, like the days of the week, they are not capitalized.

eneroJanuaryfebreroFebruarymarzoMarchabrilAprilmayoMayjunioJunejulioJulyagostoAugustseptiembreSeptemberoctubreOctobernoviembreNovemberdiciembreDecember

To express “in a certain month,” use the preposition “en.”

Vamos a México en enero. We are going to Mexico in January.

Las clases empiezan en el mes de septiembre. Classes begin in September.

Here are the four seasons.

Las estaciones del año.

la primaveraspringel veranosummerel otoñoautumnel inviernowinter

Note that the articles are normally used with the seasons.

En América del Norte, la primavera empieza en marzo. In North America, spring begins in March.

En América del Sur, la primavera empieza en septiembre. In South America, spring begins in September.

Note: The seasons are reversed south of the equator. When it is winter in New York, NY, it is summer in Santiago, Chile.

Here are some ways to inquire as to the date.

¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy? ¿A cuántos estamos hoy? ¿Qué día es hoy? ¿A cuántos estamos?

If you are talking about the first day of the month, use the expression “el primer día” or simply “el primero.”

¿Qué día es hoy?

Hoy es lunes, el primer día de mayo. Hoy es lunes, el primero de mayo.

Today is Monday, May 1.

For all other days of the month, use the cardinal numbers.

¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy? (Tuesday, March 25) Hoy es martes, el veinticinco de marzo.

¿A cuántos estamos hoy? (Sunday, June 3) Estamos al domingo, el tres de junio.

The Spanish way is to write the day + month + year. This is different from the American way (month + day + year).
