Mi favourita vacaciones

Question

Hi, I'm trying to say that "my favourite holiday was last year when i went to Valencia with my friend"

"mi vacaciones favorita fueron el ano pasado fui a valencia con mi amiga"

Does this sound correct?

Answer 1

Mis vacaciones favoritas fueron las del año pasado cuando fui a Valencia con mi amiga.

Gracias Caiser tu son muy servicial - loucarroll73, Sep 18, 2013

Answer 2

For us "vacación" y "vacaciones" are correct and both have the same meaning, but "vacación" is almost not used. Most of People always say it in plural. Of course, when we say it in plural we use the plural in articles, adjectives and verbs.

In Spanish and English there is a similar word "pant", "pants" and "pantalón", "pantalones" they are used in singular and plural even for talk about one garment, and when it is used in plural the verb, (and the adjetive and article in Spanish) are used in plural.

Thank you that makes a lot of sense. - loucarroll73, Sep 18, 2013

Thanks Caiser for the explanation. :) - Mainer, Sep 18, 2013

Answer 3

Caiser is fluent so this is not to question his answer but to get an understanding on my part- Why plural? My favorite vacation was...it is my favorite, the only one I favor. I clearly agree that Loucarrol was incorrect in not using the proper number -mi vacaciones but I would have thought the correction would be mi vacación.

I agree it was just 1 holiday so "Mi vacación favourita fue la del año pasado cuando fui a Valencia con mi amiga" would this be correct? - loucarroll73, Sep 18, 2013

Answer 4

Can anone explain why it would be fueron?

again, number, you had vacaciones. Personally I would have said fue but I've been known to be wrong a lot. - Mainer, Sep 18, 2013
