Usage Note

Clase covers 'class' in all its main English senses: a school lesson (clase de matemáticas), social class (clase obrera), and kind or type (toda clase de problemas). The phrase dar clase means 'to teach' and tener clase ('to have class') carries the same figurative elegance meaning as in English.

Examples

"La clase empieza a las nueve."

Natural Translation

The class starts at nine.
