Keepsake, in 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.
