Ask when a course starts and describe a monthly payment or plan.
The idea
Mes is masculine: el mes, plural los meses. After the final consonant, the plural adds -es. Use cada mes for an event that happens every month.
Examples
- Este mes estudio español.This month I study Spanish.
- Un año tiene doce meses.A year has twelve months.
- ¿Qué mes empieza el curso?What month does the course start?
- El próximo mes viajamos a Lima.Next month we are travelling to Lima.
- Pago el alquiler cada mes.I pay the rent every month.
- Faltan dos meses para el concierto.There are two months until the concert.
