Postpone / Reschedule

[PRD2021]

1. As discussed, I have rescheduled my annual leave from 20 February to 12 March 2023, instead of from 18 January 2023 to 08 March 2023.

2. As discussed, I have postponed my annual leave start date to 20 February 2023, instead of 18 January 2023.

Are the above sentences grammatically correct?

 

[Tarheel]

They're OK.

 

[emsr2d2]

I'm not keen on "postponed to ..." at all. "Rescheduled to ..." is OK. If you want to use "postpone", I'd say:

I have postponed my January annual leave. I'm going to move it to February.

I am not a teacher.

I guess "put off" work too, although you didn't mention it.

 

[Tarheel]

I don't think so. If I put something off it's an unpleasant task that I don't want to do today so I postpone it until another day.

I put it off until another day hoping it will go away.

 

[Tarheel]

I guess "put off" works too, although you didn't mention it.

I don't think I'd want to "put off" my vacation.

I put it off until another day hoping it will go away.

Thank you. This is one of its meanings. According to Cambridge Dictionary, "to decide or arrange to delay an event or activity until a later time or date."

"The meeting has been put off for a week."

[Glizdka]

A meeting can be unpleasant, a bothersome event nobody really wants to attend, so it can be put off. It's actually something that happens reasonably often in real life, making Cambridge Dictionary's example relatable and understandable.

With enough context to justify it, you coud say that about your vacation. Say, you're a workaholic who was forced to go on their vacation by their spouse under threat of violence, but as Tarheel said in posts #5 and #6, it's typically something you look forward to, and as such, it would be rare, and might not be what our OP is looking for.
