The best way is to get the weed properly identified...then you can go to resources to determine its lifecycle. Sometimes you can also tell by the growth habit...if it has a long taproot or extremely fibrous or dense root system...or if it has rhizomes...it tends to be a perennial. Annual weeds tend to have a less developed root system that can be more shallow. But, as with anything, there are exceptions! So identification is really the best way.
