Days, months & seasons

Grade 5 · French · Free lesson

Bonjour! I am Studyfin, your French tutor. Let's learn how to talk about days, months, and seasons in French!

In French, we do not capitalize the days of the week or the months. We start them with small letters, like 'lundi' for Monday.

Let us look at the seasons. Summer in French is 'l'été'. It is warm and sunny!

l'été (Summer)

Winter is called 'l'hiver'. It brings cold weather and beautiful white snow.

l'hiver (Winter)
