Present tense for seasonal habits and season prepositions
In Italian, the present indicative is used to talk about seasonal habits. A key feature is the use of season prepositions.
Season prepositions
- in primavera — in spring
- d'estate — in summer
- in autunno — in autumn
- d'inverno — in winter
Important: estate and inverno take the preposition d' (contraction of di), while primavera and autunno take in.
