Last Sunday was .. ./ It was

(a) is correct. Only one subject is needed [as you wouldn't say, "John he's my friend".]

I might add "during", but the use of "holiday" is clearly British, so I'll let someone else answer.

How about (b) ? If I say, @Last holiday@, isnt incorrect?

Vincent Teo Last holiday / Last school holiday... ( which is correct?)

Give us a sentence, VT. Without context, I think both are wrong. You could say:

It happened during our last [school] holiday.

In the right circumstances, also: It happened during the last holiday.

But: He came to see me

both a and b- where the emphasis is A is that it was John's birthday recently (more specifically last sunday), and B last sunday was a special day- ie John's birthday

you cannot say 'last holiday' really- we generally talk about 'last summer/christmas/easter/half term/spring break' ect
neither do we really say 'last school holidays (if we do, it would probably be 'the last (school) h

Thanks. how about :

(b) Last Sunday it was John's birthday.

Do we accept it?

that one is the more frequent I'd say

Last Sunday, it was...

Last Sunday was John’s birthday –ok

Ii was John’s birthday last Sunday. Ok

But “Last Sunday it was John’s birthday” – is incorrect.



You do not need the [it] following Sunday.

i disagree- I think Last Sunday it was John's birthday sounds absolutely fine.
of the three, Last Sunday was John's birthday is the most infrequent

Thanks. So. which is the correct one?

Do we use "Last Sunday it was..." ?
