Il est né un dimanche

Il est né le dimanche

Which one is correct? Can't we use indefinite articles with the days of the week ?

Hi Dinali,

I say le dimanche is correct but have a look here for further information:-

https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/le-dimanche-6-janvier-article-date-avec-le-jour-de-la-semaine.776925/

In particular pay attention to the piece by Maître Capello who I have followed for years -- he is excellent for advice.

Hope it helps.

Jim
