lundi vs. le lundi

Question

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://french.kwiziq.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!
