Specifically "sabaton" in your examples doesn't have an object role (it's not Saturday that will be read), instead it indicates when the reading will happen. | |

Sorry for not having understood; I'll add to the answer. On the dative. Dative in E-o is expressed with al. Now whether a verb has dative or accusative (vi helpas al mi / vi helpas min) is mostly decided by the additional possible presence of an other, direct object (vi helpas al mi la lernadon de la hispana). Though here one immediately may argument vi helpas min pri la lernado de la hispano.
