In French, you will have different ways to say that something takes place in one of the four seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn).
How to express the seasons in French
Look at the examples using the four seasons:
To say in + [winter, summer, autumn], you will use either :
en + [hiver, été, automne]
or
l' + [hiver, été, automne]
or
l' + [hiver, été, automne]
You will do the liaison between en and the vowel (été, automne) or mute h (hiver).
ATTENTION :
To say in spring in French, you will only use :
au printemps
Note that all seasons are masculine in French.
