Let’s solve the exercises step by step.
We are given the French days of the week in order:
lundi → Monday
mardi → Tuesday
mercredi → Wednesday
jeudi → Thursday
vendredi → Friday
samedi → Saturday
dimanche → Sunday
And remember: In French, days of the week are
not capitalized.

Exercise 1: Which day of the week comes next?
We need to find the day that follows each given day.
1. samedi → next is dimanche
2. jeudi → next is vendredi
3. dimanche → next is lundi (week starts over)
4. mercredi → next is jeudi
5. lundi → next is mardi
6. vendredi → next is samedi
7. mardi → next is mercredi
✔ All correct based on the weekly cycle.

Exercise 2: Which day of the week comes before the one given?
Now we go backward — what day comes *before* each listed day?
1. Before dimanche → samedi
2. Before mercredi → mardi
3. Before samedi → vendredi
4. Before lundi → dimanche
5. Before vendredi → jeudi
6. Before jeudi → mercredi
7. Before mardi → lundi
✔ Again, all follow the weekly order correctly.
