Days of the Week
Learn how to use prepositions with days of the week.
Days of the Week
Point 1: Spell the names of the week with a capital letter.
- Monday | on Monday
- Tuesday | on Tuesday
- Wednesday | on Wednesday
- Thursday | on Thursday
- Friday | on Friday
- Saturday | on Saturday
- Sunday | on Sunday
Point 2: In spoken English, speakers often do not say the preposition on.
- I will see you Sunday.
- I will see you on Sunday.
Parts of the Day
Point 3: We use different prepositions for some parts of the day, either in or at.
- morning | in the morning
- noon | at noon
- afternoon | in the afternoon
- evening | in the evening
- night | at night
- midnight | at midnight.
Point 4: When you combine a day of the week and a part of the day, you do NOT need a preposition, except with noon and midnight. The time of day goes after the day.
- I will see you Monday night.
- Let's meets Sunday afternoon.
- I will see you Friday at noon.
Parts of the Week
Point 5: The weekend is Saturday and Sunday, and the Weekdays are Monday thru Friday.
- Weekend | on the weekend
- Weekday | on a weekday
- Weekdays | during the weekdays.
