💡 Grammar Points
Capitalization Rule
Unlike English, Spanish days of the week are NOT capitalized unless they start a sentence.
Using 'on'
To say 'on Thursday,' you use the article 'el' (the) and omit the word 'on': 'el jueves'.
The Plural Form
The word 'jueves' already ends in 's,' so it is the same in singular and plural. 'El jueves' (one Thursday) vs. 'Los jueves' (every Thursday/Thursdays).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Capitalizing the Day
Mistake: "Tenemos clase el Jueves."
Correction: Tenemos clase el jueves. (Keep it lowercase!)
Adding an 's' for Plural
Mistake: "Me gusta los jueveses."
Correction: Me gustan los jueves. (The word stays the same for plural.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Linking the Days
Remember the days of the week in order: lunes (Monday), martes (Tuesday), miércoles (Wednesday), jueves (Thursday), viernes (Friday), sábado (Saturday), domingo (Sunday).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I capitalize 'jueves'?
No, generally you should not. Spanish days of the week (like months) are only capitalized if they start a sentence.
Why does the word look the same for singular and plural?
Because 'jueves' already ends in an 's,' it is one of the few words that doesn't change its spelling when you want to make it plural. You only change the word in front of it: 'el jueves' (singular) vs. 'los jueves' (plural).
