I have applied leave

This phrase is correct but less common. It implies the action of requesting time off without specifying the details.

This phrase is a shorter way of saying that you have requested time off from work or school without mentioning the specific details like the day or duration of the leave.

Alternatives:

  • I have applied for leave
  • I have requested leave

I have applied for leave on Monday

This phrase is correct and more detailed. It specifies the day when the leave was requested.

This phrase is used when you want to communicate that you have formally requested time off on a specific day, in this case, Monday.

Alternatives:

  • I have requested leave for Monday
  • I have asked for leave on Monday
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I have applied leave' is a shorter version that implies the action of requesting time off without specifying the details. 'I have applied for leave on Monday' is a more detailed version specifying the day when the leave was requested.
