Answer 1

Answer:

It depends on the type of sentence

But I think both are correct

Answer 2

Answer:

"Summer vacation" is the grammatically correct one since it possesses the correct agreement.        

Explanation:

• Most nouns have a singular and plural form.

• Words like one, many, or these can affect whether we prefer the singular or plural form.

• For example, it’s correct to say one person (one person is the singular form).

• But when we’re talking about more than one person, we’ll need to say many people (people- plural form).

• In the given question, the noun 'summer vacation' is uncountable so it will always take the singular form 'vacation' instead of 'vacations'.

• Since the Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, they possess a singular form and do not have a plural form.
• Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count using numbers.
• They may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous to be counted such as liquids, powders, gases, etc.

• Thus Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb.

• For example:

• Incorrect: I spent my summer vacations (agreement issues) at my grandmother's home.

• Correct: I spent my summer vacation at my grandmother's home.

Hence, the singular uncountable noun 'summer vacation' is correct grammatically.
