Is it on the weekend or at the weekend?

So, the question of whether you say at the weekend or on the weekend is not a question of being grammatically correct but of speaking American English or British English, being at the weekend (BrE) and on the weekend (AmE). So, both are correct.

Is during the weekend correct?

“During the weekend” is grammatically correct and has the same meaning, but it doesn’t sound as natural to me. Perhaps in certain contexts “during” could sound better. And it may, perhaps, vary by region.

Can you say on the weekend?

On the weekends (plural) One clear difference between over the weekend and on the weekend is that only on is used with the plural: weekends. For example, these are all good sentences in English: They go sailing on (the) weekends. I usually leave early on (the) weekends.

Can we say on weekends?

The usage of prepositions is idiomatic. So it varies depending on the speaker. “At the weekend”, “at a weekend” and “at weekends” are used in British English; “on the weekend”, “on a weekend” and “on (the) weekends” in American English.

When do you use prepositions before the word’weekend’?

Here we are specifying that it was the weekend that just went by or the weekend that is coming up. Both last and next can be replaced by at the/on the and retain the same meaning. We also do not use prepositions before each, every, this, that + weekend. We don’t say all the weekends, we say every weekend.

Which is better, at the weekend or in the weekend?

The best options are “during” or “over”. 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. I’d so love to give this a +1…

What’s the meaning of’over the week end’?

I believe over the week-end has a different meaning to at the week-end (or Am on the w/e). It suggests that it is some sort of task or chore which you will deliver on the Monday or thereafter e.g. a piece of homework. One would seldom hear Are you going to the football match over the week-end – in fact it wouldn’t make sense.
