We are off Monday!
Hi guys,
Actually, this is not a grammar question; it is all about how to speak correct English.
Suppose a guy went to have a haircut Monday. When he arrived at the shop, he found it closed with a piece of paper stuck read “We are off Monday”! When he went back home, he got this conversation with his wife:
The wife: Why did not you have a hair cut?
The guy: It is closed today.
The wife: How did you know?
The guy: It is mentioned on a small piece of paper stuck on the door.
My question is about the last part “mentioned on a small piece of paper stuck on the door” is there any other shorter way to say it? For example can I say:
It is posted on the door?
It is written on the door?
………………………etc.
Well, I know to say “it is closed today” or “they are off today” is quite enough. However, I would like to emphasize by mentioning this piece of paper who reads “We are off Monday”. But how to mention it correctly?
Many thanks!
