Weekend or weekends?

Question

Answer

Weekend is singular and weekends is plural.  So, if I am talking about this coming weekend or last weekend or now, this weekend, it is singular.  If I am talking about a course of study that I did five weekends in a row, or that I will be working for three weekends, or in any other way talking about more than one weekend I say 'weekends'.

Answer

Hello Anna:

Weekend  refers to one weekend.   You might say, "I will see you this weekend."

That means  a specific, and single weekend.

.

However, if a friend asks  if you are ever free to meet, you might say;

"I am sometimes free on the weekends."   That is a reference to more than just one weekend.
You can be free on many weekends.

Hope that helps. --Warm Regards, Bruce
