Questions & Answers about Visitamos el parque los sábados.

Why is there a los before sábados? Doesn't that mean "the Saturdays"?
In Spanish, you use the definite articles (el or los) to say that you do something on a certain day. So, while los sábados translates literally to "the Saturdays", in English we would naturally say "on Saturdays". Never use en for days of the week!
What is the difference between saying el sábado and los sábados?
El sábado means "on Saturday" (a single, specific Saturday), while los sábados means "on Saturdays" (every Saturday). Because we are talking about a recurring habit here, we make both the article (los) and the day (sábados) plural.
Where is the word for "we" (nosotros) in this sentence?
It is built right into the verb! In Spanish, you can usually drop subject words like nosotros (we) because the ending of the verb tells you exactly who is doing the action. The -amos ending in visitamos always means "we do something", so adding nosotros to the beginning is optional.
Why does sábados have an accent mark on the first "a"?
The accent mark tells you where to put the stress when you say the word out loud. Without it, the default rules of Spanish pronunciation would make you stress the second-to-last syllable (sa-BA-dos). The accent mark overrides that, so you correctly pronounce it SA-ba-dos.
