I found a post in Reddit, which says: “I checked my phone to see that my hotel wants to cancel my 4 month old reservation the literal week of the event. Looks like I may be driving back and forth for both days. “ Do you add “for” before the literal week? And I read somewhere that this week comes from a bible that says God created the universe in six days ( and he rested on the seventh day ) , so is this a nation holidays or a week for volunteers work??? For What is this week? He also says the hotel gives their rooms for homeless shelter. https://www.reddit.com/r/HardFestival/comments/1efe7gj/booked_hotel_months_ago_and_now_they_want_to/ Thank you.

Literal in this context means the actual week of the event, there is no need to add for prior to it. There is no biblical association with literal week in this context.

No, you don't need 'for'. The phrase 'the week of the event' refers to the time of cancellation, not the time the reservation was going to be for. Sor

While there is no reference to Creation Week in the text you provided, you are correct that such an account exists in the Bible. It’s fascinating! I would be happy to answer questions about it if you have any. Just send me a message. 😊

Explanation of the Post: "The literal week of the event" No, you don’t need to add "for" before "the literal week." The phrase emphasizes that the event is happening within that very week, adding frustration about the timing. It’s like saying, "The hotel wants to cancel right at the worst possible time—the same week as the event." Meaning of "this week" This doesn’t refer to a national holiday or a biblical week. In this context, "the event" likely refers to something important happening soon, such as a concert, conference, or sports event. The hotel might have partnered with a local government or organization to temporarily house homeless people, causing them to cancel reservations. Biblical Connection Misunderstanding: The seven-day week (six days of creation and one of rest) does have roots in the Bible, but here it’s unrelated. The phrase “the literal week” just stresses timing, not religious significance or a volunteer event. Why Might a Hotel Cancel Reservations? Hotels sometimes cancel bookings to: Support emergency housing for the homeless or displaced individuals. Overbook rooms due to high demand (unethical but not unheard of). In this case, the Reddit user suggests the hotel is prioritizing housing for a homeless shelter during the event week.

This example illustrates the use of a noun ("week") as an adverb. Other nouns that are frequently used as adverbs include "yesterday", "today", "home", "Sunday", "Sundays", "February", ...: "She visited us Sunday" "She visits us Sundays" "I saw her yesterday" "I am driving home" "I saw a play last February"
