Grammar

take place=there is/are?

my question was how to use to take a place instead of there is..
..........on the train a group had been learning bridge and on wednesdays....
1). ...On Wednesdays there is a world affairs class. OR
2).... On Wednesdays a world affairs class takes place.
Why in the number 1 can't be "takes place" without changing the structure position and no like in number 2 which the word "takes place is but changing the grammar position.
Also the "wednesdayS" it is repetitive habits,, and is it always with the verb in singular?
