Tuesdays

1. 1
   noun

   Plural of Tuesday.

   The last two Tuesdays were unusually busy at the office.

   She keeps her Tuesdays free for volunteering at the library.

   Note

   A regular plural, and one worth telling apart from the adverb: in the last two Tuesdays the word counts days, while in she works Tuesdays it says when. Because the y follows a vowel, the plural simply adds -s, never -ies. The capital stays too, since day names remain proper nouns even when there are several of them.

2. 2
   adverbCanadaUS

   On Tuesday; on each recurring Tuesday.

   The farmers' market runs Tuesdays through the summer.

   She volunteers at the animal shelter Tuesdays and Saturdays.

   Note

   A North American adverb that needs no preposition: the market runs Tuesdays, where other varieties of English would usually say on Tuesdays. The final -s is not a plural here but an adverb-forming suffix, so the word looks exactly like the ordinary plural while doing a different job. It cannot be compared, and it attaches straight to the verb it times.
