If you are starting to learn a language, English or French, maybe you have already learnt the 7 days of the week and the 4 seasons. You also need to know the 12 months of the year.

Good to know: in English you need to capitalize the names of the months, but not in French.

In English, the months of the year are introduced by the preposition “in” when you want to say when something happens. For example, you can say:

• Summer begins in June.

In French, to say which month something takes place or happens, you can introduce the month with the preposition “en”, or say “au mois de ”:

• L’été commence en juin.
• L’été commence au mois de juin.

Note the word “mois” is a masculine noun: le mois

Here is a set of flashcards for you to learn and practice!
