💡 Grammar Points
Masculine Noun
Even though 'febrero' doesn't end in 'o', it is a masculine noun. If you need to use an article (like 'the'), use 'el' (el febrero).
No Capital Letters
Unlike in English, months in Spanish are typically written in lowercase. Only capitalize 'Febrero' if it starts a sentence.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Capitalization
Mistake: "La fiesta es en Febrero."
Correction: La fiesta es en febrero. (Keep the month name lowercase unless it begins the sentence.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Saying 'In February'
To indicate something happens in this month, always use the preposition 'en': 'Vamos a viajar en febrero.' (We are going to travel in February.)
