Talking about days, dates and colors
No el after es.
Answer: Mañana es sábado.
Day first, then de, then the month.
Use el for "on" with a day.
Los means every Saturday.
As nouns, colors are masculine: el azul, el rojo.
Negra matches chaqueta, which is feminine.
Rules for days, months and colors
No capital letters
Days and months are lowercase in Spanish unless they start a sentence: el lunes, en enero, el martes 3 de marzo.
The week is listed from Monday
Spanish counts the week from lunes, and calendars in Spain put Monday first. In some Latin American countries, such as Mexico, many calendars start on Sunday instead. El fin de semana (the weekend) is sábado and domingo.
Use el for "on," but not after es
Say el lunes for "on Monday" and los lunes for "on Mondays." Lunes to viernes stay the same in the plural; only sábados and domingos add an s. After es, drop the article: Hoy es lunes.
Dates go day first
Say el 4 de julio for July 4. For the first of the month, many Latin Americans say el primero de enero; el uno de enero is also common, especially in Spain. Saying today's date out loud each morning, or with a Tooter tutor, makes it automatic.
Colors that end in -o have four forms
Rojo, roja, rojos, rojas. Colors ending in -e or a consonant only change for plural (verde, verdes; azul, azules), and colors that are also nouns, like naranja and rosa, keep one form for both genders: un vestido rosa. In the plural you'll hear both vestidos rosa and vestidos rosas.

@learningwith.michelleQuestions learners ask
What day does the week start on in Spanish?
Usually Monday. Spanish lists the days from lunes to domingo, and calendars in Spain start the week on Monday. In some Latin American countries, such as Mexico, many calendars start on Sunday instead.
What are the Spanish days of the week named after?
Most come from the planets and the Roman gods they were named for: lunes from the Moon, martes from Mars, miércoles from Mercury, jueves from Jupiter and viernes from Venus. Sábado comes from the Sabbath, and domingo from the Latin for "the Lord's day."
How do you say Wednesday in Spanish?
Miércoles (MYEHR-koh-lehs). It comes from the planet Mercury and has an accent on the first e.
How do you ask what day tomorrow is in Spanish?
Ask ¿Qué día es mañana? and answer with Mañana es sábado (Tomorrow is Saturday). Mañana means both tomorrow and morning, so tomorrow morning is mañana por la mañana.

enero, febrero, marzo, abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre and diciembre. They are written in lowercase.

Colors ending in -o do: un carro blanco, una casa blanca. Colors ending in -e or a consonant, like verde, azul and gris, are the same for both and only add a plural ending.
