Can some one pleae help me with this?

Say, today is the 22nd of April,2008 and I want to say something about the coming weekend (27th and 28th). Are the following sentences correct?

1) We'll go there this weekend?
2) We'll go there next weekend?

And if I want to refer to the weekend that just passed, can I say

1) We went there last weekend?

Hi Daemon

I'd probably say "We'll go there this (coming) weekend."
However, I do think people would also use your other sentence, too.

As to you question about the previous weekend, I'd probably say 'last weekend' if the weekend in question was at least a few days in the past. I might also say 'this past weekend'.
