In April, I wash the car at seven o'clock on Mondays. On the weekend does not necessarily refer to any particular weekend, in the same way that "this weekend" would, although you can use "On weekends, I wash the car", or "On the weekend, I wash the car" for a more generalised.
Hello! Is it correct to use the preposition in with weekend? For instance, I usually go out in the weekend. It sounds better to me that saying at the weekend, but...is the above sentence correct?? Thanks for your help. Llibertat
By the weekend generally means 'before midnight on Friday', i.e. before the weekend. For some people, Sunday is the first day not the last day.

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?
The adjectival or attributive version is generally weekend - weekend bag, weekend sailor. "Something for the weekend," is always so There are no examples of week-end, or weekend being used to mean the end of the week. Edit: Correction, there is one example for definition 1.c "The end (i.e. the last day) of the week; Saturday. dial."
