- Tuesday
- Wednesday (Often pronounced with a silent ‘d’)
- Thursday
- Friday (The last day of the work week)

How Do We Use the Days of the Week?
We use the days of the week to say when something happens. We often use the word on before a day.
For example, I have English class on Tuesday.
You can also talk about today (the current day), tomorrow (the day after today), and yesterday (the day before today).
Knowing these words helps you understand and share information about time.
