Which is correct?

I will see her on the weekend.

I will see her during the weekend.

Best Answer

Neither. The answer is “this weekend”, as in “I will see her this weekend.” Depending on which weekend you mean, you could also say “next weekend”, which is the weekend following “this weekend”.

“On the weekend” is sometimes used, but sounds odd to me. “During the weekend” would only be applicable if you were clarifying that you meant not before or after, but during the weekend.
