Determiners
Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions regarding the following five sentences:
(A) Don't be noisy in class.
(B) Don't be noisy in classes.
(C) Don't be noisy in a class.
(D) Don't be noisy in the class.
(E) Don't be noisy in your class.
Q1 Which of the above four sentence is possible when a teacher asks his/her students to behave themselves?
Q2 I don't think (D) is usual, but I guess it can be used when the speaker is talking about a certain specific lecture. Am I right?
Q3 The sentence (E) sounds quite strange to me. To me, "in your class" sounds like "in a class you (= the teacher) are [is] conducting." What do you think?

(PS I like my students to be noisy in class if they are eg doing a speaking exercise.)
