Questions & Answers about Las clases terminan los martes y los jueves.
Why does the Spanish sentence use los instead of a word for "on"?
In Spanish, you don't use a preposition like "on" with days of the week. Instead, you use the definite article. You use el for a single day (like "on Tuesday") and los for recurring days (like "on Tuesdays").
Why is it los martes instead of "los marteses"?
Do all days of the week stay exactly the same in the plural?
Why is it Las clases if the English translation is just "Classes"?
In Spanish, when you talk about a general noun as the subject of a sentence, you usually need to include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). English drops "the" here, but Spanish requires Las.
