Dec 15, 2009 · English - South-East England. Dec 15, 2009. #3. In BrE you would say 'on my last holiday' or 'for my last holiday', if you mean you 'went on holiday' (BrE) - that is, you spent several weeks there sightseeing or having fun. (These don't always mean exactly the same thing: for my last holiday I went camping; on my last holiday I met Jim's brother.)
Jun 30, 2010 · Jun 30, 2010. #3. In this context I would say " For my holiday I am going to Asia" and I would keep it singular as it is one holiday e.g. one excursion/block of time off work. In my holidays is not correct. People use "on my holidays" when talking about something they do/did when they are/were on holiday. "On my holidays I like to eat the local ...

Nov 15, 2017 · Nov 14, 2017. #7. Speaking only for myself, an AmE speaker, "at holidays", "on holidays", and "at the holidays" are all possible, with slightly different meanings. at holidays: around the time that holidays are celebrated. on holidays: on the actual days when holidays are celebrated. at the holidays: specifically during the Christmas/New Year ...
Sep 3, 2022 · Sep 3, 2022. #2. Russulae 🍄🍄🍄 said: I know that rule which says that "latest" means the newest, and "last" means there'll be no more. Both "latest" and "last" can mean "most recent".

Feb 10, 2008 · Feb 10, 2008. #2. Hi kuleshov. My vote would go to Where did you go for your last holiday? (without s). "Holidays" to me, sounds like 'school holidays' = time off school. Whereas "a holiday" implies you go away somewhere: "I'm going to Spain for my next holiday". That's not a hard-and-fast rule: for example, "holiday" in "Bank Holiday" simply ...
