Important examples of weekly in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, weekly is often used to describe events or publications that happen every week.

▪The team holds a weekly meeting.
▪The team meets every week.

Example of a confusing word: weakly (in a weak manner)

▪The team holds a weakly meeting.
▪The team meets in a weak manner.
"Weekly" is an adjective or adverb meaning "every week" and is used to describe the frequency of events or publications. In "The team holds a weekly meeting," it correctly modifies "meeting" to indicate it happens every week. "Weakly," however, is an adverb meaning "in a weak manner," and using it in "The team holds a weakly meeting" is grammatically incorrect and changes the meaning to suggest the meeting is held in a feeble way, which is nonsensical in this context. Therefore, "weekly" is the correct choice.
