To let the reader know what season the sonnet is taking place in during sonnet #73 Shakespeare uses phrases such as,"When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang" to explain that it is autumn. His word choice is conveying the season because he is using words that would hint the time of year. There is no other time of year that there would be yellow leaves on the tree (or no leaves at all), besides fall. The time and season in sonnet #73 are significant because it is letting the reader know what time of year Shakespeare is comparing the young man with. They are also significant because the reader can picture in their head the setting of the sonnet.
