Months, Seasons and Dates

✏️Here are the months in Spanish. Note that, like the days of the week, they are not capitalized.👇

enero.....January
febrero.....February
marzo.....March
abril....April
mayo....May
junio....June
julio...July
agosto....August
septiembre....September
octubre.....October
noviembre...November
diciembre...December

✏️To express "in a certain month," use the preposition "en."

🇪🇸 Vamos a México en enero.
🇬🇧 We are going to Mexico in January.
🇪🇸 Las clases empiezan en el mes de septiembre.
🇬🇧 Classes begin in September.

✏️Here are the four seasons.
Las estaciones del año.

la primavera....spring
el verano.........summer
el otoño...........autumn
el invierno........winter

✏️Note that the articles are normally used with the seasons.👇

🇪🇸 En América del Norte, la primavera empieza en marzo.
🇬🇧 In North America, spring begins in March.
🇪🇸 En América del Sur, la primavera empieza en septiembre.
🇬🇧 In South America, spring begins in September.

NOTE: The seasons are reversed south of the equator. When it is winter in New York, NY, it is summer in Santiago, Chile.
Here are some ways to inquire as to the date.👇

¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?
¿A cuántos estamos hoy?
¿Qué día es hoy?
¿A cuántos estamos?

✏️If you are talking about the first day of the month, use the expression "el primer día" or simply "el primero."👇

¿Qué día es hoy?
Hoy es lunes, el primer día de mayo.
Hoy es lunes, el primero de mayo.
Today is Monday, May 1.

✏️For all other days of the month, use the cardinal numbers.

¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy? (Tuesday, March 25)
Hoy es martes, el veinticinco de marzo.
¿A cuántos estamos hoy? (Sunday, June 3)
Estamos al domingo, el tres de junio.

✏️The Spanish way is to write the day + month + year. This is different from the American way (month + day + year).👇

COMPARISONS OF INEQUALITY

✏️If two things are not equal, they are unequal.

🇬🇧 We are not the same height.
🇬🇧 You are taller than I.
🇬🇧 The two items do not cost the same.
🇬🇧 The camera is more expensive than the television.

✏️In Spanish, inequality is expressed by using one of the following formulae:👇

más (menos) + adjective + que
más (menos) + adverb + que
más (menos) + noun + que


Here are some examples:👇

🇪🇸 Tú eres más alto que yo.
🇬🇧 You are taller than I.
🇪🇸 Mónica habla más lentamente que Carmen.
🇬🇧 Monica speaks more slowly than Carmen.
🇪🇸 Tengo menos libros que Arsenio.
🇬🇧 I have fewer books than Arsenio.

✏️If the comparative is followed by a number, use de rather than que.👇

🇪🇸 Hay menos de veinte alumnos en la clase.
🇬🇧 There are less than twenty students in the class.
🇪🇸 Él tiene más de noventa años.
🇬🇧 He is more than ninety years old. (Literally: He has more than ninety years.)

✏️Note that when the sentence is negative, que is used even with numbers, to convey the meaning "only."👇

🇪🇸 Tengo más de cinco dólares.
🇬🇧 (I have more than five dollars.)
but
🇪🇸 No tengo más que cinco dólares.
🇬🇧 (I only have five dollars.)
 
🇪🇸 Hay más de veinte estudiantes en la clase.
🇬🇧 (There are more than twenty students in the class.)
but
🇪🇸 No hay más que veinte estudiantes en la clase.
🇬🇧 (There are only twenty students in the class.)
