Nov 25, 2015 · A) On my last holiday (singular) I went to Sardinia. The entirety of the last holiday I had was in Sardinia. B) In my last holiday (singular) I went to Sardinia. Doesn't make sense saying 'In', even with 'holiday' in the singular. C) For my last holiday (singular) I went to Sardinia. The entirety of the last holiday I had was in Sardinia - but ...
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 ...
Feb 9, 2011 · Only 2, the past simple tense, would be a relevant answer because the present perfect tense (I have been) indicates that I went away on holiday while the simple "was" indicates only that I had time off work. Questions (i) and (ii) change/clarify the meaning of sentence 2. Last edited: Feb 9, 2011.

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 ...
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 ...
Feb 17, 2011 · British English. Feb 17, 2011. #4. Peterdg said: I'd use "during". So would I. At Easter, but during the Easter holiday. Maybe even in the Easter holidays, but I seem to need the plural for "holidays" in this case. There will probably be even more variations if we substitute "holiday (s) for vacation (s).
May 15, 2007 · Hello, I don't know how to formulate these following sentences. Today is my last day at work before my holiday. Today is my last working day as I will be on holiday. How can I say that ? I mean I will come back to work afterwards so I don't know if my two sentences are correct above...
Sep 1, 2013 · Yes, "holidays was " is incorrect (although there are natives who would say it). "Holiday" en singular es " (día) festivo". "Holidays" en plural, en británico quiere decir "vacaciones" o "vacation". "Vacation" es la versión americana de "holidays". Fíjate en que el sustantivo es en singular, y por tanto el verbo también: my vacation was ...
