"他们每个星期天晚上吃面。"

Translation: They eat noodles every Sunday evening.

[EliY6]

Isn't sunday "星期日"?

[Andrew-Lin]

Both are possible and common.

[WaaDoku]

Is one more often used in speech than written form?

[wxf163c]

星期日 sounds more formal.

[Brooklyn_NYC]

Every Sunday they eat noodles in the evening should be accepted

[Andreea824378]

yep. i wrote that too and it wasnt accepted.

[Tatonka71]

how come 个 is included after 每 when it's usually left out?

[Andrew-Lin]

It's optional, you can keep it or omit it. But I myself will keep it.

[EquanimousLingo]

Correctness. It's omission is just standard when obvious or during casual conversation.

[WaaDoku]

Why is "They are eating noodles every Sunday evening." wrong? Would present progressive need a word like "now" to indicate the time?

[Hilda87549]

The continous form is used for describing an activity that is currently ongoing. In this case the activity is taking place repeatedly (every sunday evening).

[Dave168907]

That could be a correct English sentence if they didn't used to eat noodles every Sunday evening but now they are doing so.

[Hilda87549]

what is wrong with "they eat noodles every sunday in the evening"?

[Martin952957]

Yeah - I do have the same question - why is it not accepted "They eat noodles every sunday in the evening"? Possibly someone of native speakers here could explain it? Thx ☺️

If you ever wondered where 'chow mein' comes from... 吃面

[wxf163c]

chow mein is 炒面 (chao mian), fried noodles

[ASchaufele]

"they eat noodles for dinner every Sunday" should also be accepted.

[Martin821640]

"every Sunday evening" is right, but "every Sunday in the evening" is wrong.

[MeneerBert]

Can't u say '...on every evening...'?

[AlexanderH795268]

Think so to!☺️

[AlexanderH795268]

It is nice

[Zack752346]

beta sucks
