💡 Grammar Points
Using 'Los' for Habit
To say you do something 'every Sunday' or 'on Sundays' habitually, Spanish uses the plural article 'los' before the day: 'Los domingos juego fútbol.' (I play soccer on Sundays.)
No Capitalization Needed
Unlike English, days of the week in Spanish are usually written with a lowercase letter unless they start a sentence.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'en' for Habit
Mistake: "Hago ejercicio en domingos."
Correction: Hago ejercicio los domingos. (You don't need 'en' (on) when describing habitual actions; the article 'los' does the job.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Singular vs. Plural
Use 'el domingo' to talk about one specific Sunday (next Sunday or last Sunday). Use 'los domingos' to talk about Sundays in general or a recurring action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'domingos' masculine?
All days of the week in Spanish (lunes, martes, etc.) are masculine, regardless of whether they end in 'o' or 's'. Therefore, you must use the masculine article 'los' with 'domingos'.
If I want to say 'last Sunday' or 'next Sunday', should I use 'domingos'?
No. 'Domingos' is plural. For a single Sunday, you should use the singular form: 'el domingo pasado' (last Sunday) or 'el próximo domingo' (next Sunday).
