Tomorrow is weekend

Hi,

"Tomorrow is weekend" would sound perfect to a Chinese ear. I wouldn't think it's a natural way to say so. I'll make up a brief conversation here so that you have better idea.

Jack: I've been working my tail off this week.

Jill: Me too. (Is it possible to say "so have I?" I've never heard it before.) Well, Jack, let's look on the bright side! Tomorrow is weekend.

( Jill doesn't mean to only refer to Saturday; she's talking about the 2 happay days at the end of the week.)

Jack: Yeah, you're right.

How about, "Weekend is coming?"

Thanks,

" sounds better in English. " "The weekend starts tomorrow" would also be okay. In your dialogue, "so have I" can be substituted for "me too" without any problem.

"The weekend is coming!" sounds better in English. Some people say "T.G.I.F.," which means "Thank *** (or Thank Goodness) it's Friday!" "The weekend starts tomorrow" would also be okay.

In your dialogue, "so have I" can be substituted for "me too" without any problem.

So, tomorrow is weekend sounds unnatural. Correct? Emotion: smile

Correct - "Tomorrow is weekend" sounds unnatural in English. By the way - when you say this, do you mean that tomorrow is Friday or Saturday? If you mean Friday, I guess you could say "tomorrow is the end of the week." If you mean that tomorrow is Saturday, it would be better to say "the weekend starts tomorrow" or "tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend."

Just to throw a clinker in here-- I have probably said 'tomorrow's the weekend' on many a Friday, meaning 'tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend'.

PASTELJill: Me too. (Is it possible to say "so have I?" I've never heard it before.)

Yes, "so have I" is fine - although a native speaker might say it so quickly that it sounds like "so uv I" or even "so'v I".
