"great day" vs "great day ahead"

If you are telling someone to "have a great day," you need not include the word "ahead," as it is implied.

Last Updated: August 15, 2019

great day

This is correct

You can use this phrase to describe a day you had, or to tell someone that you hope he has a wonderful day.
