Questions & Answers about Visitamos la ciudad el martes y el miércoles.
Why does it say el martes instead of using a word for "on"?
In Spanish, you don't use a preposition like "on" with days of the week. Instead, you use the masculine word for "the" (el). So, to say "on Tuesday", you actually say el martes (literally "the Tuesday").
Both martes and miércoles end in "s". Are they plural?
They are singular here! The Spanish days of the week from Monday to Friday naturally end in an "s" (lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes). You can tell they mean a single Tuesday and a single Wednesday in this sentence because they use the singular article el. If it meant "on Tuesdays" in general, it would be los martes.
Why is el repeated before miércoles? Could I just say el martes y miércoles?
How do we know it means "we visit" if the word nosotros (we) isn't in the sentence?
