adjectives that collocate with 'weekend'

[Verona_82]

Hello,

I'd like to add a bit of variety to standard replies to "How was your weekend' and wonder if the following adjectives collocate with 'weekend'. I'm afraid of uttering a phrase that won't be idiomatic.

I had a.....
- fabulous
- awesome
- action-packed
- mind-numbing
- unforgettable / memorable
- eventful

weekend. Could anyone have a look at them, please? The one that worries me most is 'action-packed'.

They are all OK.

How was the weekend?
​

How was the vacation?

How were the past days?
How was the holiday?
How were you with the weekend?
How the weekend with you was?


Please check the above-mentioned? Do they make sense?

​

How was the weekend?
​

How was the vacation?

How were the past days?
How was the holiday?
How were you with the weekend?
How the weekend with you was?


Please check the over-mentioned? Do they make sense?


​

I would put the first four as:

How was your weekend?
How was your vacation?
How have the past few days been?
How was your holiday?

I would not use the final two. I wouldn't know how to reply to "How were you with the weekend?", and "How the weekend with you was?" is simply not correct English.

It's the "above-mentioned" not "over-mentioned."
