👉 four-day workweek

Number + noun = singular + NOUN

15 minute city = ciudad con todo a 15 minutos

24 hour city= ciudad abierta 24 horas

5 story building = edificio de 5 pisos

7/24 service  shop = tienda con servicio 7/24

noun + como es (description)

In English, when we use a number before a noun to indicate quantity, we typically do not use the plural form of the noun. This is because the number acts as a determiner specifying the quantity of the noun, and the noun remains in its singular form.

For example:

• "15-minute city" means a city where everything is within a 15-minute distance.• "24-hour city" refers to a city that operates 24 hours a day.

• "5-story building" describes a building with five floors.

• "7/24 service shop" denotes a shop that provides service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In each case, the number serves as a modifier specifying the quantity or duration associated with the noun, and the noun remains singular.

👉 Vacation Days 

1. In English, the word "vacation" is typically used as an uncountable noun when referring to time off from work or school, so it doesn't usually take a plural form. Instead of saying "vacations" to refer to multiple days off, we use "vacation days" to specify the number of days.

For example:

• Correct: "I have 10 vacation days this year."

• Incorrect: "I have 10 vacations this year."

When "vacation" is used in its plural form, it usually refers to separate instances or trips, like "I've taken three vacations this year," meaning three different trips. However, when talking about allocated days off within a job, we say "vacation days" to be precise. 

2. ”Holidays" in English is typically used in the plural form and refers to specific days of celebration or observance, such as national or religious holidays. It can also refer to time off work during these periods.

For example:

• "We have a few holidays in December, including Christmas and New Year's Day."

• "Our office is closed for the holidays."

When talking about time off work, especially in the UK, "holiday" is often used interchangeably with "vacation." In this context, "holiday" can be singular or plural, depending on how it's being used.

For example:

• UK English: "I'm going on holiday next week." (singular, similar to "vacation" in US English)

• "I have 20 holiday days this year." (plural, specifying the number of days off)

So, "holidays" can be plural when referring to multiple special days or to a period of time that includes several days off, but when referring to time off in general, it might be singular or plural depending on context.

3. The term "holiday season" is used in English to describe a period of time, usually towards the end of the year, that includes multiple holidays, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's. It's a time when many people celebrate, take time off work, travel, and participate in various festivities.

Here's why "holiday season" is used:

1. Multiple Holidays: The phrase "holiday season" encompasses several holidays that occur close together. Instead of mentioning each holiday separately, "holiday season" refers to this entire period.

2. Extended Period: The word "season" suggests that this isn't just one day but rather a stretch of time, typically from late November through early January, when people are in a festive mood, and many activities and traditions take place.

3. Inclusivity: "Holiday season" is an inclusive term that covers various cultural and religious celebrations, making it appropriate for diverse audiences.

So, "holiday season" is used to describe the broader, festive time of year that includes multiple holidays and the activities associated with them.

  👉 Employees are to receive

 This structure is correct and can be used in a formal or professional context. This phrase is often used in contracts or formal documents to indicate that employees are expected or entitled to receive something.

For example:

• "Employees are to receive a monthly payslip."

• "Employees are to receive training during their probation period."

It's a clear and formal way to express an obligation or an entitlement.

This document serves as the formal Employment Contract between the employer and the employee, outlining the terms and conditions under which the employment is offered. The contract specifies the Weekly Working Hours, whether it is a Full-time Job or a Part-time Job, and the applicable Split Shift or Continuous Work Schedule.
