A class can be a group taught together or a period of teaching.
The idea
Class is countable: a class, two classes. In a class of ten students it names a group; in class starts at nine it names a session.
Examples
- The class starts at nine.
- She teaches a class of ten students.
- We have two classes today.
- The class asked the teacher a question.
- He met a friend after class.
- Our class is learning a new word.
