Louisiana French/Time

Telling time is important in any language. This chapter will focus on the days of the week, the months in a year, and expressions involving time.

Days in the Week
Note that the days of the week are not capitalized in French. Also, all days are masculine (le, un). Sometimes expressions involving the days are translated similarly as in English.

However, some are not as easily translated.

When saying an event occurs or has occurred on a certain, be sure to put le in front of it.

Months in a year
Also, note that the months of the year are masculine.

Seasons
Again, note that the seasons are masculine. When we talk about events occuring during a month, it is a little different than days of the week.

See that spring (printemps) is different from the rest of the seasons. It will use au instead of en.
