Notes on the usage of the weekdays in Spanish:
- The days are not capitalized in Spanish unless they are at the beginning of a sentence.
- All days are masculine, so they should have masculine articles.
- When talking about the days in Spanish, the verb “ser” is used. Example: Hoy es sabado. – Today is Saturday.
- When we want to change the days of the week to their plural forms, only the article changes. We don’t add another -s to the end. Example:
