Questions & Answers about ¿Quiénes participaron en el club el lunes?

Why does this sentence use quiénes instead of just quién?
In English, "who" is used whether you are asking about one person or multiple people. In Spanish, if you expect the answer to be more than one person, you use the plural form quiénes. Because it acts as a plural subject, the verb that follows must also be in its plural form.
How is the past tense formed for participaron?
Participar is a regular -ar verb. To talk about a completed action in the past (the preterite tense) for a group of people, you drop the -ar and add the ending -aron. Since quiénes is plural, we use this "they" form of the verb.
Why is it el lunes instead of using a word for "on"?
In Spanish, you never use words like en to say "on" a day of the week. Instead, you just use the masculine word for "the" (el). So, el lunes directly translates to "on Monday" in this context.
