French Grammar - Use of the definite article to indicate a habitual action

Where English uses 'on + . . . day(s)' to indicate a habitual action e.g. 'On Monday(s) I go to the market', French uses the definite article: Je vais faire mon marché le lundi:

  • Nous allons au cinéma le vendredi soir

We go to the cinema on Friday evenings

  • Le cours d'histoire a lieu le mercredi

The history lecture is on Wednesdays

  • Ils viennent ramasser les poubelles le lundi et le jeudi

They come to empty the dustbins on Mondays and Thursdays
