In
Spanish the seasons, days of the week and months of the year
are written in lower case and do not start with a capital
letter.
To
talk about the days of the week, use '
el'. To talk
about months and seasons, use '
en':
EL lunes / EN
enero / EN primavera
- El jueves tengo que estudiar. - I've got to
study on Thursday.
However, we use the verb 'ser' to associate a date to a day:
- El 1 de febrero
es miércoles.- The 1st of February is
Wednesday.
- En
diciembre
la ropa es más cara que en enero. - Clothes are more
expensive in December than in January.
- En España, en
verano hace calor y en invierno hace frío.- In
Spain, it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
Notice that we say POR
la mañana, POR la tarde, POR la noche
- En verano no puedo dormir
por las noches. - In the summer I can't sleep at
night.
To
ask questions, use 'Cuando' - when (In the question
form, cuando is written with an accent - cuándo).
Choose the correct answer. Follow the example.
Listen to the name and colour of the following objects and
articles of clothing and choose the correct word for each picture.
Un
zapato /
Un par
de zapatos
