 What&amp;#39;s the difference between the two sentences? Which one is better? 
 
  If one of your students has been absent for 2 days, Please inform the manager . 
  
  If any of your students has been absent for two consecutive days, Please inform the manager . 
  
 Don&amp;#39;t use a capital P. 
 Say &amp;#39;If any . .  have . . &amp;#39; 
 A school usualy has a principal, not a manager. 
  
 The word &amp;#39;consecutive&amp;#39; makes #2 more precise. 
  
 I prefer #2.
