Dear sir,
Which option is correct ?
1) a- a week's haliday
b- one week's holiday
2) a- two weeks' holiday
b- a two weeks' holiday
Concerning number ( 1),
I think (a) " a week's haliday" is the correct answer . If we use a definet article in this structure, we can't use a number.
As for number (2),
I think number (a) is the correct answer. If we use a number in this structure,we can't use an article.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes, 'a' is the correct one. For 'b' to work, you can say "a one-week holiday''.

In 'a', 'a' is not a definite article. It is an indefinite article.

Yes, 'a' is the correct one. If you want to know the reason why 'a' works in both, but not 'b', see this recent thread:
