Have an English or have English class

[Miriamtsai]

Hi, there:
Is it correct to say "I have an English class on Monday."? Or should I drop "an" just say "I have English class on Monday."?

Thanks for your help.

Both are correct in this case.

If it's a regular event, I'd use the second (without "an").

Thanks for your response.
If it's a regular event, can I say "I have English classes on Mondays."? And what's the difference between "on Mondays" and "on Monday"?

"On Monday" suggests that it's only on the coming Monday rather than every Monday.

Sorry, I didn't notice that. Should I delete the post and start a new thread?

I would never say I have English class in BE.
Only I have English or I have an English class/I have English classes, depending on what is meant.

I was about to say the same thing as e2efour until I saw his comment!

'I've got English on Mondays, maths on Tuesdays, etc'
