"A primavera vai chegar logo."

Translation: Spring will arrive soon.

"Spring will soon arrive" was not accepted.

[emeyr]

It should be. It's a bit more literary but absolutely correct.

[fabsuniverse]

For me also and yet it is correct

[DooleyThom]

So was"Spring arrives soon "

[FrankLoomans]

Why is "springtime" not accepted ?

[olavio1]

why not "the spring"?

[Paulenrique]

In general sense it's better to avoid "the" for seasons.

[emeyr]

English speakers generally don't use articles with the seasons.

[damarx]

I think the definite article before a season is acceptable in many situations. It can't be considered wrong in general.

Here are some phrases I could find in just one book, "The Shining", by Stephen King:

"In the winter the road was closed... "

"... they could have passed the winter quite nicely..."

"So far the fall had been almost preternaturally beautiful."

"They were together again in the spring and ... "

Here's an interesting discussion on this subject:

Obrigada, damarx! É por isso que eu escolhei 'seguir' você.
Continuo aprendendo aqui-- as duas línguas!

Obrigado, emeyr! Português é minha língua nativa, mas estou aprendendo inglês aqui também

"Spring will be here soon" was not accepted, but suggested "will begin" as a correct translation? Chegar has always (so far) been shown and used as "arrive." I understand how BEGIN is also proper in common speech, but that wouldn't have been my choice of words within a lesson here.

[piguy3]

I put "Spring will be here soon." Looks like I was on to something ;)

[adh345501]

'The spring would arrive soon'- is it incorrect? It was not accepted.

[emeyr]

It's incorrect. The modal verb "would" implies uncertainty.

[redcamarocruiser]

How about spring is arriving soon?
