Doubts regarding Weekdays with Le

Are these correct?

1. J'étais née le lundi 26 mars 1983.

2. J'étais née lundi. (I was born on Monday) ...talking about a specific context / specific thing that happened on that day, so no "le" used?

3. La réunion est le mercredi 14 avril à 8h.

4. La réunion est mercredi. (The meeting is on Wednesday) .....talking about a specific context / specific thing that will happen on that day, so no "le" used?

Hi Aahpreet, 

1. Je suis née ( not j'étais née) = I was born 

2.  "    un lundi = I was born on a Monday ( If you say just ' lundi' it would be last Monday!)

3. correct

4. the Wednesday coming 

Hope this helps!

We don't advise on external homework on this forum, but you seem to have put in the work yourself. To me, those examples sound correct.
