This is the thirty-first lesson in our beginner level Spanish course and we will look at The Days of the Week in Spanish<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

We will practice using some of the regular verbs<\/a> we have already seen in the course in present tense<\/a> with The Days of the Week in Spanish<\/strong>. Remember, the present tense is used when we describe things that we usually\/generally do. Eventually we will learn lots of other grammar tenses (past, future, etc) but for the moment we are focusing on Spanish present tense,<\/p>\n

We should also know Day<\/em> and Week<\/em> in Spanish:<\/h3>\n

El d\u00eda: Day
\nLa semana: Week<\/p>\n

As you can see Day<\/em> is a masculine noun (El d\u00eda<\/em>) and Week<\/em> is a feminine noun (La semana<\/em>). Lunes, Martes, Mi\u00e9rcoles, Jueves, Viernes, S\u00e1bado, and Domingo are all Days and therefore are all masculine. With The Days of the Week in Spanish<\/strong> it is important to be aware of this, particularly when you want to say On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, etc:<\/p>\n

El lunes\/martes\/mi\u00e9rcoles\/etc…: On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc<\/p>\n

If you want to say On Mondays, on Tuesdays, on Wednesdays, etc, you will use the plural version of El:<\/p>\n

Los lunes\/martes\/mi\u00e9rcoles\/etc…: On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc<\/p>\n
