Keepsake, class
Hi,
1) Can I use ‘keepsake’ in the following sentence?
“This watch belonged to my grandfather and I’ve kept it to remember him. It’s my keepsake of him.”
2) I know that you say ‘in class’ and not ‘in the class’, but what if I talk about a particular class?
“I usually fall asleep in (the) law class.” I could probably say ‘during the,’ but I want to know if ‘the’ can be used in front of ‘class’ in this example.
Thank you.

1) Sounds OK to me. 2) It is conceivable, but it would require an odd context. There would have to be other classes of that kind in play, for instance.

"During" does nothing either way.

This isn't always the case. It wasn't when I was at school.
