    On or at/help
    Message from miracle2 posted on 10-02-2013 at 12:15:38 (D | E | F)
    Hello everybody!
    Please, help me because I'm confused whether I should use the preposition 'on' or 'at' in this sentence:
    My brother likes our family gathering (at weekends)or (on weekends)?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    I'd say "at weekends".
    Have a nice day

    Thank you so much Komiks!
    Would you explain me why?
    For example I can say I work on Sundays,isn't it?
    So ,if I say I work on weekends,is it false?

    Re-hello
    Have a look here : Link
    Apparently, we can say both, but "at weekends" is British English and "on weekends" is American English
    Have a nice afternoon

    Hello.

    I'd say:

    My brother likes our family gathering every weekend.
