💡 Grammar Points
Masculine Noun
All months in Spanish are treated as masculine nouns, so you would use 'el' if you needed an article (e.g., 'el junio pasado'), but usually, you don't use an article at all.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Capitalizing Months
Mistake: "Using 'Junio' with a capital J."
Correction: In Spanish, month names are not capitalized unless they start a sentence. Always write 'junio'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Talking About Time
To say something happens 'in June,' use the preposition 'en': 'Viajo a España en junio.' (I travel to Spain in June.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use 'el' before 'junio'?
Usually, no. You only need the 'el' (the) if you are talking about the entire month in a general sense, like 'El junio pasado fue frío' (Last June was cold), or when specifying a date: 'el 5 de junio'.
How do I say 'early June'?
You can use the phrase 'a principios de junio' (at the beginning of June). For 'late June,' use 'a finales de junio'.
