Months

There are doce meses (12 months) in un año (a year) in Spanish, just as in English. However, as with the days of the week, the months don't start with a capital letter.

When you look at the months of the year in Spanish you can probably guess what they mean as many are very similar to English.

Apart from enero that is!

Did you notice the similarities?

The last four months of the year all end –ber in English. Look at the Spanish and see what you notice.

That’s right. The –ber ending in English becomes –bre in Spanish.

To say something happens in un mes (a month), you use the word en (in).
