Em inglês, “estações do ano” são seasons of the year. No post de hoje veremos as 4 estações do ano e como usá-las pra dizer coisas como “Eu geralmente vou à praia no verão”, “A primavera é minha estação favorita” e “No inverno, nós gostamos de usar cachecol”.
Observem os exemplos a seguir.
The seasons of the year are spring, summer, fall and winter.
Spring is my favorite season.
Fall starts on March 20th in the Southern hemisphere.
A palavra fall é mais usada nos Estados Unidos; já no inglês britânico, “outono” é autumn.
Autumn starts on March 20th in the Southern hemisphere.
As palavras spring, summer, fall e winter, além de serem usadas como “primavera”, “verão”, “outono” e “inverno”, também podem ser usadas como “de (da) primavera”, de (do) verão, de (do) outono e de (do) inverno. Vejam:
Winter clothes are much more elegant. Roupas de inverno são muito mais elegantes.
I usually spend summer vacations at the beach. Eu geralmente passo as férias de verão na praia.
I prefer summer weather to winter weather. Eu prefiro clima de verão a clima de inverno.
Spring collections will be launched during New York Fashion Week. As coleções de primavera vão ser lançadas durante a Semana de Moda de Nova Iorque.
Yesterday was a typical fall day. Ontem foi um dia típico de outono.
Quando quisermos dizer “na primavera”, “no verão”, “no outono” e “no inverno” vamos usar in antes da estação do ano. Vejam abaixo as combinações e algumas frases de exemplo:
in spring ou in the spring
in summer ou in the summer
in fall ou in the fall / in autumn ou in the autumn
in winter ou in the winter
I usually go to the beach in the summer.
