favorite 作形容词，意为“最喜欢的”，修饰名词。当询问对方“最喜欢的……是……”时，一般用句型What’s your favorite...? 该句子可与What... do you like best?互相转换。
favorite 也可作名词，意为“最喜欢的人或物”。
Yellow is her favorite.
黄色是她最喜欢的颜色。
复数用法:
星期名词后面加上“s”，通常指“每个星期几”，用于一般现在时态中，说明经常性的动作或状态。如：
She helps her mother do housework on
Sundays.
每个星期日她都帮妈妈做家务。
表示“在星期几”、“星期几的上午/下午/晚上”，介词都用on。如：
on Friday 在星期五
on Friday afternoon 在星期五的下午
注意：当星期名词前有last, this, next (下一个)等词修饰时, 一般不再用介词。
We are going to a movie this Saturday.
这个星期六我们打算去看一部电影。
