C) For my last holiday (singular) I went to Sardinia. D) During my last holidays I went to Sardinia. Revised 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 ...
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.)
Member. UK, English. Dec 20, 2009. #2. Hola! No diría que es incorrecto "Last holidays I travelled to Spain", sin embargo no me suena muy natural. Me gustan más las otras dos frases que has puesto, aunque yo cambaría el verbo "travel" por "go", y quizás invertir el orden: For my last holidays I went to Spain.
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 ...
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 8, 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 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).
Jan 11, 2017 · Jan 11, 2017. #2. In the sentence as it stands: "When I was young, my family moved to Shanghai ___ the winter holiday" I'd go for "during". Of the others, "in" would work but not "on". You can say "We went to Shanghai on holiday" but not ".. on the winter holiday ". At the risk of complicating the issue unnecessarily, you could also have ...
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 ...
Nov 14, 2017 · 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 season I don't think ...
