Usually people say "How was your weekend?" But weekends are two days right? Then why don't we say "How were your weekends?" (If we are asking how his/her weekend was then which one of the two are we referring to 🙂 )

grammar
Best Answer
One weekend is made up of two days. I ask about the singular item unless I have a specific reason for the plural "weekends."
The singular "weekend" is more common.
I would say "How was your weekend?" (singular) as equivalent to "How were your days away?" (plural).
If I had not seen my friend for fifteen days (a period of time which covers two weekends), only then would I say "How were your weekends?" and I would say that only if I wanted to know how four of the fifteen days were for my friend.
This is similar to how a week is made up of seven days. I would say "How was last week?" when referring to that one single block of time. If it was four weeks since I last saw my friend, I would say "How were the last few weeks?"
