Days of the week

Hey there. How have you been? You can start naming the days of the week in two different ways, according to your culture. You can start them by Monday, if you follow the international standard based on the working days. You can also start them by Sunday, following other cultural/religious standards.

Days of the week:

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Examples:

I love Fridays.

She works on Sundays.

We have plans on Thursday.

He does the dishes on Mondays and Wednesdays.

I study English on Tuesdays.

As you can see, the days in English are always written in capital letters, regardless of their position in a sentence.

The days that go from Monday to Friday are called weekdays. The rest of the days, Saturday and Sunday, are called weekend. The historical and/or celebratory days are called holidays.

Examples:

I only work on weekends.

She's very busy on weekdays.

Are you free this weekend?

What's is your favorite holiday?

There is a holiday on Tuesday.

The days of the week can also be abbreviated when written. It's usually the first three letters of the day.

Sunday	Sun.
Monday	Mon.
Tuesday	Tue./Tues.
Wednesday	Wed.
Thursday	Thu./Thurs.
Friday	Fri.
Saturday	Sat.

Well, is it easier now to talk about the days of the week? Do you have a favorite day? Do you start counting the week by Sunday or by Monday? In case you wanna practice with me, just go ahead and book a lesson!
