Hello Ana, we use the phrase "spring forward" in the UK as a reminder that our clocks have to be moved forward and not backwards in the spring. We use this phrase because "spring" has a double meaning - as the season and also as part of the phrasal verb "to spring forward", meaning to jump forward or move forward quickly. We don't say "spring backwards". Of course the noun spring (meaning the season) has no tense, so "sprung forward" in this context sounds unnatural and we don't use it. We would just say something like "we moved the clocks back (or backwards) last Sunday". In other contexts it might be fine, for example "my business was doing badly but then last year it sprung forward". I hope that is clear!

In this context - No! We would say "Please remember that the clocks went forward one hour at the weekend." Spring forward and fall back' is a rhyme we learn to help us remember which way the clocks change! (The clocks go forward in Spring and back in the Fall (Autumn) Best wishes

Well, personally, I think it makes sense and is funny/cheeky, unless your audience won't have heard of the term "spring forward" in which case they will be confused. You might want to follow it up with clarification about the time change. Except the correct past tense form of spring would be "sprang"--"we sprang forward."

Yesterday, I saw my best friend Spring, forward all her emails to her boss immediately after announcing that she quit! It was surreal.
