Hi again!

It just occurred to me that it IS, in fact, possible to use the combination "in the weekend" but not in the contexts mentioned above.  

It can be used if the word "weekend" is being used as an adjective, as in "I will see you in the weekend game."  In this circumstance, the preposition "in" is actually referring to the game, which one can play IN.

Thanks for making me think!!!

Hi Cheezels
 
I �m pretty sure we don �t use in the weekend.  IMHO it �s usually on or at.  Can �t speak for NZ though.
 
Cheers
