Answer:

Spring tides happen just after every full and new moon, when the sun, moon and earth are in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's when lunar and solar tides line up and reinforce each other, making a bigger total tide. Neap tides occur when the moon is in the first or third quarter - when the sun, earth and moon form a right angle.
