Word Order
In Spanish, the describing word 'semanal' usually follows the thing it is describing. For example, 'plan semanal' (weekly plan) instead of 'semanal plan'.
Making it Plural
Mistake: “reuniones semanal”
Correction: reuniones semanales. Because 'semanal' ends in a consonant, you must add '-es' to make it match plural things.
