Hello,
When speaking about the closest day to the present moment we don't use an article in constructions like "on Tuesday", "On Sunday", etc. However sometimes we can come across "On a Tuesday", "On a Sunday", etc. Are they used when we're speaking about a day of the week in general rather than about the closest one(s):
1) I was him on Tuesday (= last Tuesaday)
2) I will see him on Tuesday (next Tuesday)
3) The meeting will occur on a Tuesday (but we haven't yet made a decision which Tuesday)
4) We met on the Wednesday after my arrival (not last Wednesday)
Thanks!!!
