How does it change in a sentence?
In Spanish, days of the week are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence. When you want to say "on Sunday" to refer to a specific day, use the definite article el instead of a preposition like "on" (e.g., el domingo). To express that something happens habitually "on Sundays," use the plural form with the definite article: los domingos.
