This is correct. We do Not say on/at every weekend. That is not correct.

上面這句話是正確的的。我們不說on/at every weekend。

And there is no -s at the end of weekend. We don’t say every weekends, no，we say every weekend in a singular form.

并且weekend尾部沒有s。我們不說every weekends。我們說every weekend 用它的單數形式。

That because after every we have a singular noun.

因為every后跟單數名詞。

And notice how we don’t say all the weekends as in some other languages, in English we say every weekend.

注意一下我們并不像其他語言那樣說all the weekends，在英語中我們只說every weekend。
