Hi Jennifer ,

It is the difference between every Saturday and on Saturdays ....

Hi Rajni,

As I said to Jennifer, chaque samedi /tous les samedis means every Saturday.

It sorts of indicates without fail .

Je vais voir ma mère tous les dimanches I go and see my mother every Sunday 

If yous say -

Le samedi, je fais mon ménage I do my housework on Saturdays 

It means not on Sundays or any other day.

Hope this helps!

Salut Cecile, quelle est la difference entre tous les samedis et le samedi? Si vous pouvez m'expliquer avec les exemples. Merci beaucoup :)

Hi Rajni,

Je fais mes courses tous les samedis = I go shopping every Saturday

Non je ne peux pas venir car le samedi, je fais mes courses = No, I can't come because I go shopping on Saturdays 

 

As you can see the difference is very slight but I hope this helps!
