Bonjour, I'm Milo for About dot com and today we're learning how to say the days and month in French.

Using the Article in the Days of the Week in French
Some Notes: The French week starts on Monday, rather than Sunday. You may or may not need to use the masculine definite article "le." If you're talking about the day of a unique event, do not use an article.
Nous partons en vacances vendredi après le travail. -> We leave for vacation on Friday after work.
Notes: When talking about continuous actions, use the article.
Nous dînons avec les amis tous les dimanches. -> We have dinner with friends every Sunday.
Nous mangeons du poisson le vendredi -> We eat fish on Friday.
