💡 Grammar Points
Masculine Gender
All months of the year, including 'abril,' are considered masculine. If you need to use an article (like 'the'), use 'el' (e.g., 'el abril pasado').
No Capitalization
Unlike in English, Spanish months are almost never capitalized unless they start a sentence or are part of a proper noun (like a street name).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Capitalization Error
Mistake: "Viajaremos en Abril."
Correction: Viajaremos en abril. (Keep it lowercase, just like other common nouns.)
Using 'a' instead of 'en'
Mistake: "Llego a abril."
Correction: Llego en abril. (Use the preposition 'en' (in) when referring to time periods like months.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Date Format
To write a date, Spanish usually puts the day first, then the month (e.g., 15 de abril).
