✕Common Mistakes
Se reúne todos terça‑feira.
Use 'toda' (feminine) because 'terça‑feira' is feminine; 'todos' is masculine plural.
É reúne toda terça‑feira.
The verb already includes the reflexive pronoun; adding 'é' creates a double verb error.
Se reúne toda as terça‑feira.
Do not add an article before the day; 'terça‑feira' functions as a proper noun.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the days of the week from Monday to Friday include the suffix '-feira' (segunda‑feira, terça‑feira, etc.). When talking about a regular event, Brazilians often use 'toda' before the day, not 'todos' or 'todo'. The phrase is neutral in register and can be used in business, school, or casual settings.
