    Default Re: He often goes there on sunday

    Now would you please tell me whether you accept this sentence ( He often goes there on sunday )from a grammer book or not?
    I quote from the Concise Oxford English Dictionary (Tenth Edition)

    Sunday--adv. chiefly N. Amer. on Sunday = on Sundays = each Sunday.

    "on Sunday" is an American usage which means "on Sundays" and note "Sunday" has become an adverb and no longer a noun

    (BTW, I am not a teacher.)

    Thanks for your offer but I don't have the time to tackle another language. I am now occupied with my Arabic studies which is, indeed, a difficult language to master.

    I agree with Tdol, the plural is not needed but then again it's not prohibited.

    He often goes there on Sunday.
