A work that describes the relation

not between 2 people but 2 classes/courses. Emotion: smile

Let's say one has the options to choose between College Algebra and Trignometry, but wonders if these 2 courses are connected in a way that one has to be taken first before the other one can be taken on. (am I being clear?) How word/phrase would you use for a question, say, like this?

"Are College Algebra and Trignometry ___________________?"

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you have to complete A before taking B, we say that 'A is a prerequisite for B'.

Thus, in your example, I might ask

'Is one of these courses a prerequisite for the other?'

Or I might ask

'Can I take these two courses together?'

Best wishes, Clive
