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).
