grammar - "Weekdays" used as an adverb

In your reference, you can see that the word "weekdays" can be used either as a Noun (which you normally know) or as an Adverb:




The centre is open on weekdays. (Noun)



The centre is open weekdays. (Adverb)




In the second example, the adverb is describing the verb. So it doesn't need a preposition anymore to connect to the rest of the sentence.




In addition, we sometimes drop "on" before days in spoken English.



For example:




I work out Monday mornings.



See you Friday!
