- 2. Use the word "on" before a day when you say when something happens. Example: "I go to school on Monday."
- 3. Use "today", "tomorrow" and "yesterday" to talk about now, next day, and the day before. Example: "Today is Wednesday." "Tomorrow is Thursday."
- 4. Use "every" to talk about things that happen each week. Example: "We have music every Friday."
