The days of the week, and related words are used differently between Spanish and English. Notice first of all that they are not capitalized in Spanish. In English we use the preposition "on" with the days of the week, but Spanish speakers use the definite article "the." For example, "Siempre estoy en casa los martes." (I am always home on Tuesdays.) Note, also, that with the verb SER, there is no article when using the days of the week, e.g., "Hoy es miércoles." (Today is Wednesday.)
