💡 Grammar Points

Masculine Month Names

All month names in Spanish, including 'noviembre,' are treated as masculine nouns. However, you usually don't need to put 'el' (the) before them unless you are referring to a specific date or event.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Capitalization Error

Mistake: "Noviembre empieza con N mayúscula."

Correction: Noviembre must be written in lowercase unless it starts a sentence. The correct usage is 'noviembre'. The Spanish language does not capitalize month names.

⭐ Usage Tips

Prepositions for Time

To say 'in November,' use the preposition 'en': 'Vamos en noviembre.' (We go in November). Do not use 'in' like in English.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to capitalize 'noviembre'?

No. Unlike English, Spanish month names (like 'noviembre') and days of the week are generally written in lowercase unless they start a sentence.

Is 'noviembre' masculine or feminine?
