Français : 1 tu peux aussi utiliser "aller" mais "partir" est mieux car tu quittes un lieu pour un long moment (plus que si tu allais faire des courses). 2 je ne sais pas la règle exacte mais "en" est plus général et convient mieux pour le mot "vacances". 3 Je n'ai pas d'exlplication là dessus, ce mot est toujours au pluriel, tu dois juste le savoir. Anglais : 1 you can also use 'aller' but 'partir' is better because you're leaving a place for a long time (more than if you're going shopping). 2 I don't know the exact rule but "en" is more general and better suited to the word "vacation". 3 I have no exlplication about that, this word is always plural, you have only to know it.

1 : « Partir » is used when talking about leaving or departing from a place, while « Aller » is used when talking about the action of going to a specific place

When the destination is not a specific place but rather a general concept (like going on a vacation), « partir » is more appropriate !

2 and 3 : like Daito said, it’s hard to explain. It’s just always going to be « en vacances »

Au singulier : vacance a un autre sens qui n'a rien avoir, très proche du mot anglais vacancy
