Thanks a lot, Silvia :)

Hi Silvia,
In the Uk number 1 would be a lollypop lady/man
In the US number 1 would be a crossing guard
2-driving instructor
3-radio announcer or a DJ
Hope this helps! |

 Hello, I need your help!
I have a doubt about the word "VACATION", CAN I USE THIS WORD IN SINGULAR AND IN PLURAL FORM? For example: How was your vacation? or
How were your vacations? - what is correct?
Or: Last month, Jhon was on vacation. or
Jhon was on vacation.
Please give me some ideas, Thanks. |

@Silvia - 1 - perhaps you could call that person a "Good Samaritan" (someone who helps out of kindness - not because they must - just because they are good people)
If it is something they "must" do, you may call them an "Aide"
I agree with Frank for 2 and 3.
@Casmo - "on vacation"
He was on vacation. (no problem)
He was on vacation last month. (no problem)
and plural... He took three vacations last year.

I just noticed the original question:
This would be better:
What do you call ........?
a person who speaks on the radio.  |
