Using 'The' with Seasons
When you talk about seasons generally (like 'I love winter'), Spanish usually requires the word 'el' (the definite article): 'Me gusta el invierno'.

Mistake: “Me gusta invierno.”
Correction: Me gusta el invierno. Seasons, like abstract concepts, almost always need a 'the' (el/la) when they are the main subject or object of a sentence.
