Hello,
Which is correct or more common?
a) We have classes every day from Monday to Friday.
b) We have classes every day from Mondays to Fridays
a) No class on Sunday.
b) No class on Sundays.
Should it be "class" or "classes"?
Thank you,
Nawee |

a) We have classes every day from Monday to Friday.
This is a very common use.
b) No classes on sunday.
This is the common usage. |

If you use months instead of days then you will see that the plural form doesn't make any sense.
We have vacation from June to September.
If you have several classes every day then you can say that on Saturday or Saturdays we don't have class or we don't have classes. But if you only have one class a day then you couldn't use the plural, classes.
