Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it 'meses' and not 'mess'?
In Spanish, when a word ends in a consonant (like the 's' in 'mes'), you almost always add '-es' to make it plural. It helps make the word easier to say clearly!
Do you capitalize the months of the year in Spanish?
Great question! Unlike in English, the names of the months are not capitalized in Spanish unless they are at the very beginning of a sentence. For example: 'Mi cumpleaños es en julio.'
