# Tuesday

/ˈtjuzˌdeɪ/ (US) · CEFR A1 · Noun

## Definition

the day of the week that comes after Monday and before Wednesday.

For teachers: the third day of the week in some religious calendars, or the second day of the working week in most international standards.

## Examples

- We have a team meeting every Tuesday morning.
- Since the museum is closed on Mondays, we decided to visit on Tuesday instead.
- The project deadline falls on the first Tuesday of next month, so we must finalize the draft by the end of this week.

## Pitfalls

- Not "I will see you in Tuesday." but "I will see you on Tuesday." — Specific days of the week require the preposition 'on' rather than 'in'.

## Usage notes

- Capitalized in all contexts. When used to describe a recurring event, it can be pluralized or used with 'on' plus the singular form.
