What Is Right? At The Weekend Or On The Weekend?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    At the weekend in British English, generally. However the Americans say on the weekends when using the present simple form, to talk about their habitual routines. For example I normally go to the country on the weekend. Which is not really grammatically correct, as it should be, I normally go to the country at the weekend, or on weekends.
    This is really a matter of taste, and I think people will forgive you for making this mistake, as it is not a major one.
    We sometimes also say, I am going to my boyfriend for the weekend.
    If you were writing a letter and wanted it to be correct I would use at the weekend, to be safe.
