lundi vs. le lundi

Aurélie le rappellera ________.  

For this fill-in question I answered d'ici le lundi  (wrong)  instead of d'ici lundi.  This is surely something I "learned" a long time ago (lundi vs. le lundi) but have forgotten because I haven't used it much.  Could you please point me to a lesson where I can refresh my memory?

Thanks very much.

Hi Melody,

Take a look at the Kwiziq lesson on when to use the definite article before days of the week -

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/when-to-use-le-with-days-of-the-week-weekend

It will also give you lots of examples of when NOT to use it. Please also read the Q&A section as this is a topic that comes up time and again.

Hope this helps!
