on / at the weekend?
I am wander is there any difference between "on the weekend " and "at the weedend".

Question

Answer

British people say at the weekend; Americans say on the weekend, so both are correct.

Answer

Good question! Yes, Brits say "at the weekend, and Americans and Aussies say "on the weekend" (well, I do). It's a regional difference.

Here's how I think it works:

"on the weekend" - we're cheating here a bit by treating "the weekend" as if it were a single day. On Monday, on Wednesday, on the weekend.

"at the weekend" - you've gone through the week to get to the weekend, so "the weekend" is the point in time you have arrived at.
