"Sierpień to miesiąc lata."

Translation: August is a month of summer.

[summer_p]

For the April/Spring variant "in the [season]" was accepted but here it is not. Just wondering why that was?

[Jellei]

Okay, 'a month in summer' is going to be accepted now.

How do you know when to place the adjective before or after the noun? For example, it is "mały pies" (adjective, noun), but in this example, it is "miesiąc lata" (noun, adjective). Is it a thing you just have to memorize for some nouns/adjectives?

[Jellei]

"lata" is not an adjective. It's a noun in Genitive, working like "month of summer".

As for the placement of adjectives generally, take a look here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/21465404

Why lata and not lato?

[alik1989]

Lato has to be in the genitive case to indicate possession or affiliation. That's exactly what the English "of" does here.

Sierpień jest bardzo zimno tutaj w mojego miasta. ( please correct the Polish)

[alik1989]

W sierpniu w moim mieście jest bardzo zimno.

[DebbyTeresa]

Dziękuje. Please explain 'w moim miescie'

[alik1989]

"Moim" is the locative of "moje".

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/m%C3%B3j#Declension_2

"Mieście" is the locative of "miasto". Nouns containing -ia- in the last syllable of the word stem, mutate to -ie- in the locative case. Furthermore, the locative suffix -ie contains a palatalising vowel (i), which softens a t to a ć (the diacritical mark is omitted before i by convention).

Wow. Dziękuje. Lots to learn before I can write my first sentence correctly :-)
