articles - When Should I use 'the' with months, seasons?




Should I say:




There are four seasons of (the) year?



Today we will talk about names of (the) months.



Answer



Those two sentences would be more likely to occur as





There are four seasons in the year.




and




Today we're going to talk about the names of the months.





Year and month are preceded by the because both are definite. In other contexts they might not be.
