Clocks, calendars and planning the day, sentence 1

With daylight saving time, clocks go forward one hour in spring and back one hour in autumn: «spring forward, fall back»; because the seasons are opposite south of the equator, Australia and New Zealand change on different dates from the USA and the UK.

Who acts: daylight, clocks, seasons, Australia · What happens: save, go, fall back, be, change · To what, where: opposite south, different dates · Speech: someone speaks here
