For my Spanish class we have to write a short paragraph about us for an oral presentation and written.

Part of my paragraph will include what classes I'm taking and when. Here is one I have...

Tomo biología humana sobre los martes y jueves de las once a las doce y cuarto con la profesora Moore.

I understand sobre meaning on or over. Can it be used for referring to a day(s) of the week?

¡Gracias!

When talking about the days of the week, English speakers use "on." In Spanish we just use the definite article. For "on Monday" we are going to do such and such it would be" **El lunes ** plus the rest of the sentence.

Your sentence involving every Tuesday and Thursday would be"

"Tomo biología los martes y jueves de las once a las doce y cuarto, etc." Some speakers would add an additional "los" before "jueves" as well.
