Note: We say in January or February.

Spring, summer, fall, and winter are seasons.
Let’s use those words now:
January is winter in America.
December is summer in Brazil.
In America, we say fall, but in England, they say autumn.
We usually take our vacation in June or July when it is winter here and
summer in America.
Can you think of ways to use the months and seasons?
What is your favourite month?

I usually go out to lunch on Wednesdays.
Every Saturday, I go to the movies.
