Using 'on'

To say 'on Thursday,' you use the article 'el' (the) and omit the word 'on': 'el jueves'.

The Plural Form

The word 'jueves' already ends in 's,' so it is the same in singular and plural. 'El jueves' (one Thursday) vs. 'Los jueves' (every Thursday/Thursdays).

Capitalizing the Day

Mistake:Tenemos clase el Jueves.

Correction: Tenemos clase el jueves. (Keep it lowercase!)

Adding an 's' for Plural

Mistake:Me gusta los jueveses.

Correction: Me gustan los jueves. (The word stays the same for plural.)
