💡 Grammar Points
No Capitalization
In Spanish, the names of the months (like julio) are written in lowercase unless they start a sentence. Don't capitalize them as you would in English!
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the Article 'el'
Mistake: "Vamos en el julio."
Correction: Vamos en julio. (When simply stating the month, you usually omit the article 'el' before 'julio'.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Preposition 'en'
To say 'in July,' use the preposition 'en': 'en julio.' To specify a date, use 'el' followed by the number: 'El 4 de julio' (The 4th of July).
