Are the prepositions in these sentences correct?

1- Most people have a good time on public holidays.

2-He's done a lot of homework in the school holidays.

1. is fine.

2. is not.  I'd use "during."


BTW, welcome to English Forums.  Thanks for joining us!

Hi.


Sorry to disagree - I see nothing wrong with 'in the school holidays'.

Hi, opti,   No worries!   I wonder if it could be a BrE / AmE thing??
