Days, months and prepositions in/on

Welcome to this video!

Do you know how to say the days of the week, the months and dates in English?

DAYS:

Let's start with the days of the week.

Look at them! As you can see, the days of the week begin with capital letters.

Now listen to the pronunciation of the days of the week:

Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday

We usually use weekly planners to organize the activities for the week.
For example:
 I play tennis on Monday.

Now, let's take a look at John's weekly planner.

Listen to his daily activities:

 I go to the university from Monday to Friday.

 I play basketball on Monday afternoon.
 I do my homework on Tuesday.
 My brother and I play video games on Wednesday.
 I have piano lessons on Thursday evening.
 My friends and I play soccer on Friday.
 On Saturday evening, I go to the movies.
 My family and I play ping pong on Sunday afternoon.

Now, look at the common days of the week abbreviations. You only write the three first
letters.
For example:
For Monday, you can write: M-O-N

Remember: The days of the week begin with capital letters.
