Hello,

1. In English, "to keep your fingers crossed" means that you hope that something you want will happen. People show this by crossing their middle and index finger. (Am I right?) But, if we cross the ten fingers like praying, how to say this gesture in English? (Is it "have your fingers crossed")?

2. If John is a homeroom teacher, and I want to know which class he teaches, can I ask him, "Which class homeroom teacher are you?" (How to ask that in English??)


Thanks for your help!!!

1. Clasping one's hands.

2. "Which class / grade do you have for homeroom?" "Which grade / class has you for homeroom / for homeroom teacher?" "For which class / grade are you the homeroom teacher?"
