Which one is correct: What are you doing on Friday evening? What are you doing this Friday evening? What are you doing in the evening? |

What are you doing on Friday evening? With the days of the week we use the time preposition on. |

We use all of these. We use this Friday to mean the Friday of this week. I usually go to the movies on Friday, but not this Friday. What are you doing this Friday? I �m going to a party. We can say What are you doing in the evening if we have already mentioned the day. Will you have time to meet on Friday? No. I �ll be out all day. What are you doing in the evening? Nothing. I can meet you then. |

Not quite right, porfi. We do say "on Friday", but not "on Friday evening". Bruce |

I would use all these. I think the correctness of the sentence depends on the context in this case. What is the context? |

Maybe it does depend on the country. In the US, we don �t normally say "on Friday evening". (I think I have heard it, but it isn�t common). It is just "What are you doing Friday evening?" Bruce

Bruce, it does depend on the country. In British English, we say �on Friday evening. � |
