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”.

This phrase is correct.

"I hope you enjoyed your holidays."

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.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays!
  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays this Christmas!
  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays last week!
  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays with your family!
  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays in the countryside!
  • I hope you enjoyed your holidays this year!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays this Christmas!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays last week!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays with your family!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays in the countryside!
    • I hope you enjoyed your holidays this year!

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I hope you had a great time on your vacation.
  • I hope you enjoyed your time off.
  • I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
  • I hope you had a blast during your holidays.
  • I hope you had a fantastic time during your break.
  • I hope you enjoyed your break.

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

"I hope you had a great holidays."

The article “a” can only be used with a singular form of a word, so it cannot be used with “holidays”.
  • I hope you had a great summer.
  • I hope you had a great day!
  • Thanks for the chocolate! I hope you enjoyed the pancakes, and I hope you had a great day as well.
  • Lisa said you had a great fight.
  • You had a great life in New York.
  • You had a great thing going on there.
