Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

This year is a leap year.

A regular year consists of 365 days. But every four year in February one extra day is added, which is known as a leap day in the Gregorian calendar. In other words, when there are 366 days instead of 365 in a year, the year is a leap year.

Well, you've learned what a leap year is. Now, let's learn another phrase, which is "every such and such years, or days, or weeks".

For example, a leap year occurs every four years. The Olympics are held every 4 years. I change my banking password every 90 days or once in three months. I don't drive but I do have a driving license and it has to be renewed every 5 years.

Now, would you like to practice together? Please repeat after me:

A leap year occurs every 4 years.
