lucas21c Does "Don't touch your phone during the class" sound natural? It sounds rather angry and unrealistic in expectation. I suggest 'use' instead of 'touch'.

"Don't touch" sounds a bit harsh. Say: "Please don't use your phone during class."
Emotion: wink

If the speaker is a teacher and he or she do not want students to use their phone during his or her class, are both of 'during the class' and 'during class' okay? Or, should I use only one of them?
