π Topic Summary
Capitalizing days of the week and months of the year is super important in English! It shows that these words are special names. Think of it like this: 'Monday' is a specific day, just like your name is special to you. So, we always start these words with a capital letter. It makes our writing clear and easy to read. Even in sentences like, "I love spending time with family in January," the month is always capitalized.
Let's recap! Days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and months of the year (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) always start with a capital letter, no matter where they are in a sentence.
