Days of the Week

Point 1: Spell the names of the week with a capital letter.
  1. Monday | on Monday
  2. Tuesday | on Tuesday
  3. Wednesday | on Wednesday
  4. Thursday | on Thursday
  5. Friday | on Friday
  6. Saturday | on Saturday
  7. Sunday | on Sunday
Point 2: In spoken English, speakers often do not say the preposition on.
  1. I will see you Sunday.
  2. I will see you on Sunday.

Parts of the Day

Point 3: We use different prepositions for some parts of the day, either in or at.
  1. morning | in the morning
  2. noon | at noon
  3. afternoon | in the afternoon
  4. evening | in the evening
  5. night | at night
  6. midnight | at midnight.
Point 4: When you combine a day of the week and a part of the day, you do NOT need a preposition, except with noon and midnight. The time of day goes after the day.
  1. I will see you Monday night.
  2. Let's meets Sunday afternoon.
  3. I will see you Friday at noon.

Parts of the Week

Point 5: The weekend is Saturday and Sunday, and the Weekdays are Monday thru Friday.
