💡 Grammar Points
Using 'en' with months
To say something happens 'in September,' use the word 'en' (in/on): 'Viajo en septiembre.' (I travel in September.)
❌ Common Pitfalls
Capitalization Error
Mistake: "Using a capital 'S' (Septiembre) in the middle of a sentence."
Correction: In Spanish, the names of the months are usually written with a lowercase letter: 'Viajo en septiembre.' (I travel in September.)
⭐ Usage Tips
No 'the' is needed
Unlike English, you usually don't need 'el' (the) before the month name unless you are specifying a date: 'Es septiembre' (It's September) is correct.
