The apostrophe makes it possessive. In order for it to make sense in a sentence, it needs to be followed by something belonging to (or, more likely, occurring on) Wednesday: "Wednesday's game" means "The game that has happened/will happen on Wednesday".

So even without really knowing what you're talking about, Wednesday is probably the right answer, just because Wednesday's is almost certainly wrong.

If we give the apostrophe its unfortunately common meaning ("I don't know exactly how thi's funny little tick mark symbol work's but this word end's in an 's so I better put one in just to be sure") then it's a little trickier, since either could be correct.

However, there's a subtlety here:

"I have Wednesday off" means "I have some particularWednesday (probably the one coming up or possibly the one in some week we have already been discussing) off".

"I have Wednesdays off" means "It is typical for me to have Wednesday off no matter what week we're talking about".

You would say "Wednesday" for the day off, as it refers to the specific day of the week. Including the possessive "'s" as in "Wednesday's" would imply ownership or belonging, which is not relevant in this context.

What is the correct answer it has been or it had been it ............... raining on and off since last Wednesday?

The correct answer is "it has been raining on and off since last Wednesday." This is because the present perfect continuous tense ("has been raining") is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues up to the present moment.


2. The sentence Lucy called Linda on her day off is confusing because A. we don't know what the word called actually means. B. the antecedent of the pronoun is unclear. C. it has two subjects. D. the?

Because you don't know whether it is Lucy's day off or Linda's day off. Or to use your more proper lingo, it is because the antecedent of the pronoun is unclear. If the sentence is grammatically correct, it means Linda's day off. This question is confusing because the reader can not be sure whose day off it is. Lucy (on her day off) called Linda; Lucy called Linda (on Linda's day off answer;the antecedent of the pronoun is unclear


How many lessons do french children have in a day?

It actually depends on the schools and on the age group. At primary school the teachers do what they want so they can have 30 minutes of maths, 2 hours of French etc... But the school day often starts at 8.30am and ends at 4.30pm (5.30 is common for teenagers), with one or two hours for lunch. The older you get, the more classes you get. But I reckon the average must be 7 lessons of 50/55 minutes in a normal schoolday (Wednesday afternoons are off so that'd be 3 or 4 lessons only on a Wednesday).

Why is Wednesday a holiday in french speaking countries?

Well... it isn't. The usual day off in France is, like in most historically Christian countries, Sunday. On the other hand, some primary schools close on Wednesdays and work with children only four days a week. To make up for it, they have shorter holidays. This scheme was implemented in a limited number of regions in France, just to see if children managed to learn more efficiently on a four-days-a-week basis. Following a government review, it was proven relatively ineffective and free Wednesdays might disappear next year. Although assuming that the question is referring to this Wednesday (February 2), that particular day is La Chandeleur, which is celebrated with crêpes in France. La Chandeleur is otherwise known as Candlemas, or the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.
