Questions & Answers about El viernes tenemos una fiesta.
Why does the sentence use El instead of a word for "on"?
In Spanish, you don't use a preposition like "on" for days of the week. Instead, you just use the masculine word for "the" (el). So, el viernes literally means "the Friday", but it is how you say "on Friday".
Viernes ends in an "s". Does that mean it translates to "on Fridays" plural?
How would I say "On Fridays we have a party" if it happens every week?
Where is the word for "we" in this sentence?
In Spanish, you can usually leave out the pronoun (like nosotros for "we") because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -emos ending in tenemos specifically means "we have".
