Hi all,

a/ "every two weekends" and "each two weekends" have the same meaning?
b/" at every two weekends" and "at each two weekends" have the same meaning?
c/"at every two weekends" and "every two weekends" have the same meaning?
d/" at each two weekends" and "each two weekends" have the same meaning?
e/"at each two-weekend afternoon" and "at every two-weekend afternoon" have the same meaning?
f/"each two-weekend afternoon" and "every two-weekend afternoon" have the same meaning?

The correct phrase is:

Every two weekends.

To specify the time of the day, you can add: In the afternoon, for example. Yet, it would still be confusing. Is it only Saturdays/Sundays or both days?

b/" at every two weekends" wrong and "at each two weekends" wronghave the same meaning?
c/"at every two weekends" and "every two weekends" have the same meaning? I'd say the word "at" is not necessary.
d/" at each two weekends" and "each two weekends" have the same meaning? Both are wrong.
e/"at each two-weekend afternoon" and "at every two-weekend afternoon" have the same meaning? Both are wrong and also don't make sense because a weekend has 2 days
f/"each two-weekend afternoon" and "every two-weekend afternoon" have the same meaning?Both are wrong and also don't make sense because a weekend has 2 days

Hi Alandro

In my opinion, the best expression here is "every other weekend" (rather than "every two weekends").

Examples:


He plays tennis every other weekend.

He plays tennis every other Saturday.

He plays tennis every other Sunday afternoon.

He plays tennis on (both) Saturday and Sunday afternoon every two weeks/every other weekend.
