weeks', weeks I have two _________ holiday. I think I must pick the word "weeks". Because it's a plural noun. But many people answer "weeks". Why? What grammar rule is performed here? I think a possessive doesn't work here because holiday doesn't belong to weeks.

I have two weeks' holiday = I have a holiday of two weeks Yes, it is possessive! :)

Hi Smi, If your choice is not limited to the two answers you have indicated, I would use a compound adjective: I have a two-week holiday. You can also use : two weeks' holiday. The apostrophe indicate that the "two weeks" are related (belonging to) the "holiday". Cheers, Lance
