Grammar
Class and classes
"Class" and "classes" are both used in some contexts.
e.g.:
He had math and science class today.
He had math and science classes today.
She has class all day on Friday.
She has classes all day on Friday.
I found enough usage of each to assume they are are all viable. But, grammatically it doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone provide a rule or reason as to why "class" can be used in these examples?
Thanks!
