0No. A weekend or a week are singular items (even though there are several days involved). You can't use the plural verb forms. It's like having a bag of apples. You would say the bag was heavy, not the bag were heavy.02br

In fact, your sentences are very stiff because you are not learning how to formulate the basics into a simple sentence. 02br
00We can say:02br
