今天是六月三号。
When to use Calendar Date Expressions
Read year / month / day / week order as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 星期 adds to it.
今天是星期三。
Today is Wednesday.
我星期一有课。
I have class on Monday.
星期天我们休息。
We rest on Sunday.
Common traps
- Do not translate year / month / day / week order mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
- Keep 星期 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
- Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
