Questions & Answers about ¿Ellos regresan al trabajo en agosto o septiembre?

Why aren't agosto and septiembre capitalized?
In Spanish, the months of the year are always written in lowercase unless they are the very first word in a sentence.
Do I always use en before a month?
Yes! Just like in English, you use en (in) to say that something happens during a specific month, such as en agosto (in August).
Where does the word al come from in al trabajo?
al is a mandatory combination of the words a (to) and el (the). Whenever a is followed by el, they squeeze together to form al. So, a + el trabajo becomes al trabajo (to the work / to work).
Can I use the present tense regresan even though August and September might be in the future?
Yes! Just like in English, you can use the present tense in Spanish to talk about scheduled events in the future. Ellos regresan can translate to "They return", "They are returning", or "They will return".
