Days and months in French: lundi to dimanche
Days and months let children talk about birthdays, the weather, timetables and the date at the top of their work. In French the week starts on ⟦fr|lundi⟧ (Monday) and ends on ⟦fr|dimanche⟧ (Sunday), and the months run from ⟦fr|janvier⟧ to ⟦fr|décembre⟧. Unlike English, French days and months are written with small letters.
Try an example: What is ⟦fr|mercredi⟧ in English?
It comes after ⟦fr|mardi⟧ (Tuesday).
Show the answer
Wednesday.
What to look out for
Mixing up ⟦fr|mardi⟧ and ⟦fr|mercredi⟧. ⟦fr|Mardi⟧ (Tuesday) comes first. Remember M-A before M-E, like in the alphabet.
