Hii,

A small cultural note. In my experience, the term 'leave' is not used in that way in Britain or N. America. (ie go home 'on leave'.) Here, we only speak of 'leave' in a few special cases (eg maternity leave, sick leave., leave if you are a soldier in the army) but more commonly, we use expressions like 'I'm taking my vacation next week', 'I have a day off work tomorrow'.

Hi Clive,

That is good to know. I was taught that if we don't want to be specific about the reason for our 'leave' then use 'on leave'. The truth is that I have never had to rely on such a usa

Hi,

If I didn't want to be specific about the reason, I'd just say 'I'm going to have some time off next month'.

A few days ago, you posted a thread where you mentioned an example of someone 'cooking for his master'. I'd like to comment a little on that, but I can't seem to find the thread. Do you remember which one it was?

Best wishes, Clive

Thank you Clive , but in the Cambridge dictionary I have , Leave is defined as time permitted away from work for holiday or illness and the dictionary gives examples as follows:

She 's (gone )on leave (=holiday )

So I think : I 'm going to go home on leave here is correct

Would you agree with me ?

Best regards
