Once again a question

Why are some days of the week el but others los, but both are translated as on.

Are these interchangeable? 

Los jueves, but el lunes for example

Maxie

If you look back at the lesson the singular vs the plural is used depending if you are talking about one Monday or multiple.

I need to complete the work on Monday.

I need more coffee on Mondays.

In the lesson two examples show Saturday as singular in both English and Spanish.

It shows Tuesday and Thursday as plural in both English and Spanish.

In the practice sentence the English translations match the singular or plural of the Spanish.

Of course several days of the week end in S (in Spanish) and you don't add another S to the plural form, so you have to rely on the article to know if it is singular or plural.

Hope that helps!

Hi Scott

That helps. Will look at it again. 

Take care

Hi Again Scott

Ahh, just looked at it. Sometimes one misses the obvious and the nuances. So busy concentrating on spelling, pronunciation, that I missed the English Plural completely. 

Thanks again

Maxie

I fully understand, I have done that several times.

I am just glad I have progressed to the point where I recognize more than one way to say things. Now I need to work on when in English it sounds like the same, but in Spanish it is slightly different in intended meaning.
