The seasons are changing on Sunday, It's changing from Winter to Spring in the Southern Hemisphere and it's changing from Summer to Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Or is it changing from Summer to Fall? What do you call the season after summer?[Image]

Question

Answer

In the United States, we use both. That's really all you can say about it. "Fall" is slightly more common, "autumn" is slightly more formal.

When we are naming the seasons in order, we normally say "fall," as in "spring, summer, fall, winter."

By the way, in current US usage, we don't capitalize the names of the seasons. I've seen them capitalized in old books (e.g. from the 1800s).

Answer

"Fall" is chiefly North American.
