English or english?

Hi, please tell me, is it true that you (native English speaking) write "science class", chemistry class" or "literature class" but you write "English class"?

And how about other languages? "French class", "Greek class", etc...

... or can it also be "english class" like the other subjects?

Thanks!

Anonymous or can it also be " E nglish class" like the other subjects? "English" is capitalized. It is a proper noun / adjective.

Thank you AlpheccaStars.

But why is that?

Because it is the name of a language? Or because it is your language?


How about the other languages? French? German? Italian? etc etc


Thanks again.

Native speakers also talk or write about science lessons, chemistry lessons and English lessons.

Thanks for the answer

But, ok, let me rephrase my question...

Do native speakers talk or write about French lessons or Spanish lessons as well as English lessons.

Is this a "language lessons" issue?

Thanks!

Yes.
All of the languages are capitalized, not only our own language.

Remember to end your sentences with the proper punctuation - a period/full stop (Thanks for the answer.) or question mark (Do native speakers... lessons?)

You could also talk about a science class or a French class.

Yes. All languages are capitalized, even if they do not exist today such as Proto-Indo-European.
