1. The days of the week:-
There are seven days in the week.
We usually work for five of them. We call these five days "the working week".
Many people take two days off work, we call these days "the weekend".
Monday is usually the first day of the week. Friday is usually the last day of the working week.
Sunday is considered a day of rest.
The working week The weekend
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Sunday

Short form (written only)

Here is a rhyme that may help you remember the days of the week
The days of the week:-
"Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for living,
But the child that is born on a Sunday
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."
The months of the year:-
January February March April May June July August September October November December
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Here are a couple of rhymes that should help you remember the months of the
year.
How many days are there in a month?

2. 30 days has September,
April, June and November,
All the rest have 31
Except for February alone
Which has 28 each year
And 29 in each leap year."

The months of the year:-
January brings the snow,
Makes your nose and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.
March brings the wind so cold and chill,
Drives the cattle from the hill.
April brings us sun and showers,
And the pretty wildwood flowers.
May brings grass and leafy trees,
Waving in each gentle breeze.
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hands with posies.
July brings the greatest heat,
Cloudless skies and dusty street.
August brings the golden grain,
Harvest time is here again.
Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin the shoot.
Brown October brings the last;
Of ripening gifts from summer past.

3. Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are falling fast.
Cold December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat"
Prepositions
For months we use in.
For example:
Christmas is in December.
In England it rains a lot in April.
My birthday is in September.
! The names of months always begin with a CAPITAL letter.!
The seasons
Summer
The earth is warm, the sun's ablaze,
it is a time of carefree days;
and bees abuzz that chance to pass may see me snoozing in the grass.
Autumn
The leaves are yellow, red, and brown,
a shower sprinkles softly down;
the air is fragrant, crisp, and cool,
and once again I'm stuck in school.
Winter
The birds are gone, the world is white,
the winds are wild, they chill and bite;
the ground is thick with slush and sleet,
and I can barely feel my feet.
Spring

4. The fields are rich with daffodils,
a coat of clover cloaks the hills,
and I must dance, and I must sing to see the beauty of the spring.

Prepositions of time
We use in for seasons.
For example:
In Russia it is cold in (the) winter.
! Have you noticed that spring, summer, autumn and winter start with a small
letter. The names of days and months always begin with a CAPITAL letter but
seasons don't.
