HEllo All,


I have samll question here it might sound silly but if you could please help me with it.


Actually I am writing a leave application and would like to know which one this is correct:


1) I would like to request for leaves on 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of August
2) I would like to request for leave on 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of August


It should be leaves or leave
 
It is one continuous period of leave. So "leave."
 
Hi,
I'm not a teacher. But I know that after "for" you should use a noun or something in role of a noun. "leave" can be a noun.
Let's wait for teachers! ;-)

[STRIKE]It[/STRIKE] Should it be "leaves" or "leave"?

See above for corrections to other parts of your post.
 
In BE, we are more likely to ask for leave of absence.
