Grammar Rules & Patterns
No Capital Letters
lunes, martes, miércoles...
In Spanish, we do not use a big letter for the days. We use a small letter unless it starts a sentence.
Always Use 'el'
el lunes, el martes, el sábado...
The days are boys (masculine). We always say 'el' before the day to say 'on Monday', 'on Tuesday', etc.
