WEEK

On the calendar, one week looks like this:
SUNDAY, Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri., SATURDAY.

In most people's minds though, one week looks like this:
Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri., SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

------------------------------------------------------------------

WORK WEEK

A "work week" is Monday - Friday. 5 days.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

-------------------------------------------------------------------

WEEKEND

We think of Monday as being the start of the week and Sunday as being the end.

That's why the word is "weekend". Week.......end. And that's why Sunday is part of the weekend, even though it's at the beginning when it's on the calender.

The weekend is really only two days, Saturday and Sunday. But everybody gets really excited on Friday 'cause work is over, so we start celebrating and include that day too. It's sort of like a friend of your family that you call your aunt and uncle because you are really close to them, but they're not really your aunt or uncle by blood. So the real weekend is still only Saturday and Sunday.

Weekend is singular.
(Saturday/Sunday) = weekend

I think the original sentence correction that made you wonder about the word "weekends" was this sentence:

Yours:
oh yes. I bought an electric piano a few months ago and tried to climb a new mountain every weekends.

Correction:
oh yes. I bought an electric piano a few months ago and tried to climb a new mountain every weekend(DELETE "s").

To help you understand why I wrote (DELETE "s") I will write the complete sentence. There is an implied word in it.

"I bought an electric piano a few months ago and tried to climb a new mountain every SINGLE weekend."

Do you see why it is "weekend" instead of "weekends" now?

Btw, the word "every" always comes before a singular noun.

A synonym for "every" is "each".

"I tried to climb a new mountain each weekend."

------------------------------------------------------------------

WEEKENDS

Weekends is plural.
(Saturday/Sunday) + (Saturday/Sunday) = weekends
52 weeks in a year = 52 weekends

----------------------------------------------------------------

LONG WEEKEND

You can also have a "long weekend".
A "long weekend" only happens sometimes.

A "long weekend" happens when a holiday falls on a day during the work week(Monday-Friday). And also if you just decide to take vacation days.

A "long weekend" is (Saturday/Sunday) + any days of the work week that you don't have to go to work/school.

For example:
Fri. + (Saturday/Sunday) = a 3 day weekend
Thurs. + Fri. + (Saturday/Sunday) = a 4 day weekend
Wed. + Thurs. + Fri. + (Saturday/Sunday) = a 5 day weekend

5 day weekends are like unicorns. They are very rare and you will probably not see many of them in your lifetime.

You can't have a long weekend if there is a space between the holiday and the weekend.
You can't have: Wed. + (Sat/Sun)
The days have to be connected like this:
Wed, Thurs, Fri + (Sat/Sun).

Example sentences with "long weekend":
"Oh boy! We have a long weekend coming up!"
"Did you enjoy your long weekend?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS WEEKEND

You asked this question on Saturday. I am answering your question on Sunday. So, you asked your question this weekend and I am answering your question this weekend. It is the weekend that I am living in right now. It is my present. Since you live in South Korea, the time difference makes it Monday for you now, so you can't say that you are in the same "this weekend" as me anymore. Only I can. *neener neener* :P You are living in my "next week".

For you, since it is Monday, "this weekend" means the closest future Saturday/Sunday that is coming up. For instance, if you say "I'm going to a concert this weekend". That means that you will go to the concert in 6 or 7 days.
(1Mon, 2Tue, 3Wed, 4Thurs, 5Fri, 6SATURDAY, or 7SUNDAY)

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT WEEKEND

"Next weekend" is the weekend that comes after this weekend.

----------------------------------------------------------------

4) FUTURE): "I'm going to spend the weekend at his house next month."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A: “During the weekends” refers does not specify any particular time. It simply states at some point during the weekends. “During the day on the weekends” refers to a time frame (before dark).

Note: A more natural way to say this may be, “on the weekends” or “during the day on the weekends”.

Example:
During the weekends I see my friends.

During the day on the weekends I see my friends.

A: On the weekend = on Saturday or Sunday. Example: We're going to the beach on the weekend.

By the end of the week = no later than next Friday or next Sunday. At work, people most likely mean the work week, which ends on Friday. Example: I'll finish the report by the end of the week. = At the end of Friday, the report will be finished.

At the end of the week = on Friday if you're referring to the work week or on Saturday or Sunday if you're not. People again are more likely to use this to return to the end of the work week on Friday. Example: At the end of the week, my friends and I are meeting at a bar. = Friday evening, my friends and I are meeting at a bar.

A: All of these sound unnatural. It's better to ask "What are you doing during the weekend?" or "What are you doing this weekend?"

A: Every weekend se incluye cada fin de semana, pero every other weekend significa como “cualquier otro fin de semana”

A: Both are acceptable to say but people usually say “ this weekend “ or “ next weekend” when talking about a event

“ when is your party?”
“ it’s next weekend” or “ this weekend”

A: I can only see it on the weekend OR I can see it on the weekend

Both sound natural but the first is more natural in my opinion

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: 「I didn't do anything out of the ordinary」とかを使って良いです。「out of the ordinary」とは「普段の特に」の意味です。

回答を短くしたければ、「Uneventful」とか「Pretty boring」もネイティブに聞こえます。

A: No "at" or "on" needed.
"What will you do this weekend?"
お役に立ったなら幸いです。:)

もし「いかがお過ごしですか」という意味であれば、How is your weekend going?になります。

A: × Now weekend.

A: Was/was is correct, if the book says otherwise it must be a mistake.

A: you’re very welcome. I wish the same for you!
