Important Things to Remember
When you use the days of the week in English, remember these two simple rules:
- Capital Letters: In English, always write the days of the week with a BIG letter at the start. For example, Monday, not monday.
- Preposition ‘On’: We usually use the word on before a day. For example, on Monday, on Tuesday.
| Day | Short Form |
|---|---|
| Monday | Mon. |
| Tuesday | Tue. |
| Wednesday | Wed. |
| Thursday | Thu. |
| Friday | Fri. |
| Saturday | Sat. |
| Sunday | Sun. |
