"I hope you enjoyed your holidays." vs "I hope you had a great holidays."

The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is incorrect because the singular article “a” cannot be used with the plural word “holidays”.

Last Updated: June 17, 2022

I hope you enjoyed your holidays.

This is correct

The phrase “I hope you enjoyed your holidays” is used to tell someone you hope they had a good time during a break from work or a celebration that spans several days.
