What is the standard format for Spanish dates?
One important note is that, unlike in American English where the month is written before the date in numeric abbreviated date form, the standard format for dates in Spanish is day/month/year (forward slashes, dashes and full stops can all be used to separate the day, month and year).
What do you use in Spanish for every day of the month?
Unlike English, Spanish uses cardinal numbers (like one, two or three) instead of ordinal numbers (like fourth, fifth or sixth) for every day of the month except the first. So, if you can count to 31, you can already say almost every date!
Are days of the week in Spanish masculine or feminine?
In Spanish, all days of the week are masculine and, in order to indicate their gender, we use a masculine article. Most of the time, this article will be definite (el or los), but in some contexts you might need to use an indefinite article (un-unos).
Do you capitalize days of the week in Spanish?
Unlike English, the days of the week in Spanish are written in lowercase letters. Like many nouns, the days of the week are only capitalized when they are being used to start a sentence and they are not preceded by an article.
Plural days of the week in Spanish
With the exception of sábado and domingo, all Spanish days of the week end with an ‘s’. However, this does not mean that these words are already in plural form. To pluralize the days of the week in Spanish you need to use a plural article. For ‘sábado’ and ‘domingo’, attach an ‘s’.
