A day of work

Hi,

I'm not sure about these:

That's a day of work.
I have a week of vacation.
That's two days of non-stop training.
That is two days of push ups, squats, pull ups... non-stop.

Do these work?

Thanks!

MustAsk Hi, I'm not sure about these: That's a day of work. Fine, but it doesn't mean a day's work - a job which will take a day to complete. I have a week of vacation.

  • Fine, but it doesn't mean quite the same thing as a week's vacation - a vacation lasting a week: your phrase refers to a week (Mon - Sat) which is vacation.

Could you clarify the difference between "a day's work" and " a day of work", I seem not to grasp the difference in meaning.

In addition to the question above, I'd also like to ask if "two day's push-ups, squats..." is possible? Though I'm not sure if it makes sense.
