    逐字我們每個星期一早上都有一個拼字測驗。

    「Monday」就是星期一，意思很直接，真正要學的是它周圍的用法。英文的星期名稱是專有名詞，M 一定要大寫，寫成 monday 在英文裡就像人名沒大寫一樣。日子前面用 on：on Monday（在星期一）；如果講的是「每個星期一」，就用複數 on Mondays 或 every Monday。但 last Monday、this Monday、next Monday 前面不加 on，因為 last／this／next 已經把時間指清楚了。這個名字可以想成是從「月亮的日子」（moon day）長出來的——古英文的 monandaeg 就是照拉丁文「月之日」翻過來的，記起來會比較有畫面。
