What did you do this weekend?

One thing you can always plan for on Monday is that I (Mr. Whit) will ask you what you did over the weekend. It is a very common question on Monday in any culture. So how should you answer? In simple past.

I hiked with my family this weekend.

Whit: What did you do this weekend?

You:

I slept. *yawn*

I exercised.
I hiked.

I ate.

I watched a movie.

I drank.

These are all acceptable answers. But remember, I always ask a follow up question. Generally, I want to know where you went, who you went with and what exactly you did.

For example: 

Whit: What did you do this weekend?

You: I slept.

Whit: Really? All weekend? Like a hibernating bear? What else did you do?

You: I ate.

Whit: Okay. What did you eat?

You: Samgyeopsal.

Whit: Yum! My favorite. Who did you go with?

You: My family.

Whit: Where did you go?

You: Downtown.

Always be prepared for the who, what, when, where, why, how questions. Here's a tip. If you want me to not ask too many questions then offer information.

That might look like this.

Whit: What did you do this weekend.

You: I slept and ate samgyopsal with my family downtown. 

Whit: Oh. Great! 

FINISHED!

*And remember* you are in college now, you would say "I hung out with my friends." Only rarely would you "play" with your friends. You'd play games with your friends. But coffee, drinking, chatting, etc...now you call that "hanging out."

I hung out with my family, ate samgyeopsal in Orange Town and rode my bike on Sunday. It was great!
