Over the weekend/at the weekend/during the weekend are all in common use.

"On the weekend" is also in common use.
I agree with MrP that a comma is needed after the word "me".

Dear Torsten,
At first attempt I have answered 8 questions out of 10. At the second one I have had of course 10:10. After I was listening 2 TOEIC tests what you recommended, I did them only with one-one mistake.
Torsten, you ask whether I am in good mood, yes,I am in a good mood because you wrote the Email English Course are soon starting. I am looking forward it and I am very curious.
You write about the photo, but I've already put up my photo.I agree with you that the photo is very important. Those people who put up their photo on the forum they are like than they would be my old friend.Mr. Torsten, you also,it seems to me than an old friend.
To add photo is very difficult, I asked a computer technician to help me.
Best regards: Kati Svaby |

Dear Alan!
Is that wrong, if I write "Say to me what did you do at the weekend?".Please explain it clearly.
Best regards,
Dongtien. |

Hi,
This should be: Tell me ...
The rest of the sentence is fine. You are asking what someone did during the previous weekend.

Not quite yet... ;-)
The test sentence can be written two ways.
With a comma, we can use interrogative word order in the second half:
- Tell me, what did you do at the weekend?
Without a comma, we have only a command, and thus cannot use the interrogative form.
- Tell me what you did at the weekend.
The poor test sentence doesn't seem to know which sentence it really wants to be. Presumably it wants to be the kind with a comma, but alas, even after all this time, the comma is still MIA.
