Whereas "at 9 o'clock" implies starting at 9, but continuing for an flexible length of time; similarly "at Christmas" implies starting at some point during the Christmas period, not necessarily "on Christmas Day"; "at the weekend" implies some point during the weekend which could either be Saturday or Sunday or both.

2018年10月29日 · @FumbleFingers But if the boss says he needs it by Monday morning, you might say "It's ok, I'll do it at the weekend". (Or you could say "I'll do it over the weekend.) An American would in all likelihood say "Ok, I'll do it on the weekend". "I work weekends" is used in a different context - I would suggest. –

2012年8月16日 · So technically part of a weekend starts at the beginning and another weekend starts at the end of the week. So when someone says, for example, the weekend of the 24th (the 24th being a Monday) they are not using good grammar or reference. The 24th doesn’t fall on a weekend day ... therefor there is NO “weekend of the 24th.

The weekend would be the 6th & 7th. How do you refer properly to the coming weekend, "This weekend" or "Next weekend"? I believe that using "next weekend" would refer to the 13th & 14th and "this weekend" would refer to this week's end. Technically the coming weekend (6th & 7th) would be the next weekend on the calendar. So which is correct?

2022年6月13日 · Now, weekend as we now know it, is a U.S. invention. The practice of organising employment in a way that provides for most people not working on both Saturday and Sunday first appeared in the U.S. in early twentieth century, became common in that country in the decades that followed, and then spread to most of the world after the Second World War.

2015年10月21日 · I will do my work over the weekend. I will do my work during the weekend. Neither "in the weekend" nor "at the weekend" sound correct. "On the weekend" sounds OK, more so if you're talking about multiple weekends. I do my work on weekends.

Depending on which weekend you mean, you could also say “next weekend”, which is the weekend following “this weekend”. “On the weekend” is sometimes used, but sounds odd to me. “During the weekend” would only be applicable if you were clarifying that you meant not before or after, but during the weekend.

2012年5月7日 · On is slightly vague (possibly deliberately so) and would suggest some time during the weekend, or possibly the whole weekend. For the weekend could mean most of the weekend and possibly the entire weekend, and over the weekend explicitly means the whole weekend — in this context. As @JeffSahol points out, in other contexts (e.g., I'll fix ...

Neither Wishing you a happy weekend nor Wish you a happy weekend would be used in normal conversation. As others have noted, spoken parting platitudes at the end of a week are normally started with have, such as: Have a good weekend; Have a nice weekend; etc. Change the adjective to be what you think most appropriate for the situation.

2016年5月23日 · One weekend is made up of two days. I ask about the singular item unless I have a specific reason for the plural "weekends." The singular "weekend" is more common. I would say "How was your weekend?" (singular) as equivalent to …
