While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The French Republican calendar replaced the Gregorian calendar in France from 1793 to 1805.
• Both calendars are divided into twelve months.
• The timelines for the months don’t match.
• The sixth month of the French Republican calendar, Ventôse, begins during February, the second month of the Gregorian calendar.
• The eighth month of the French Republican calendar, Floréal, begins during April, the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar.
