常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Weekend"?Which "Weekend" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I weekended at home.
✓I spent the weekend at home.
The verb 'weekend' is not commonly used in the past tense as 'weekended'. It is more natural to use phrases like 'spent the weekend' or 'was away for the weekend'.
×Let's weekend a trip.
✓Let's go away for the weekend.
The verb 'weekend' is intransitive and does not take a direct object like 'a trip'. It is used to describe the act of spending the weekend in a particular place or manner.
×We will weekend to Tokyo.
✓We will weekend in Tokyo.
When using 'weekend' as a verb to indicate location, use the preposition 'in' or 'at', not 'to'. 'To' implies movement towards, while 'weekend' describes the state of being somewhere for the weekend.
×I am weekending now.
✓I am on my weekend now. / It's my weekend now.
The verb 'weekend' is not typically used in the continuous/progressive tense to describe the current moment. It's more commonly used in simple present for habits or future plans.
×I need a weekend from work.
✓I need a break from work. / I'm looking forward to the weekend.
While 'weekend' as a noun means Saturday and Sunday, the verb 'to weekend' means to spend the weekend somewhere. Using it to mean 'to take a short break' is incorrect. Use 'take a break' or 'get away' instead.
×The CEO will weekend at the corporate retreat.
✓The CEO will spend the weekend at the corporate retreat.
The verb 'weekend' is somewhat informal. In formal writing or speech, it is better to use more standard phrases like 'spend the weekend' or 'be away for the weekend'.
