These three words are very confusing for many learners: other, another and others. Let’s take a look at them.
Well, I hope this lesson was of some help to you. And check tomorrow’s Blog post for more examples and other usages!
Look carefully:
Eu estava fazendo uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava preparando uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava criando uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava desenvolvendo uma aula de inglês.
>> I was making / preparing an English class.
Eu estava fazendo uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava assistindo uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava participando de uma aula de inglês.
Eu estava presente numa aula de inglês.
>> I was having / taking / attending an English class.
“To do a class”, doesn’t sound good. And I believe there is a slight difference between the verbs to take and to have in this context.
If you are taking a class, for example, it is already implied you are the student. However, if you are having a class, you are attending a class, so you have a class scheduled, which can be true for either the teacher or the student.
Now, concerning the question that is the title of this post, “Teacher, can we have our class on another day?”, there are also a few more possible ways to say the same:
“Teacher, can we change our class to another day?”
“Teacher, is it possible to schedule (for) another day and time?”
Okay! I hope you found this lesson helpful!

A lot of times, it can be hard to distinguish the teens from the tens, like fifteen from fifty, which can lead to some significant miscommunication. It mostly depends on the stressed syllable, but there are other rules. Check out this video and practice. Notice that some of the remarks may be more applicable to American English.
Sometimes things end up happening in ways we don’t expect. That’s when we learn the hard way.
to discover what you need to know through experience (by trying to do it), or by making mistakes:
He doesn’t want to take my advice, so I guess he’ll have to learn the hard way.
He learned the hard way about the harsh reality of the boxing world.
Make sure you put the baby’s diaper on before you start feeding her. I learned this lesson the hard way.
Let’s get our week off to a great start with this valuable quote:
get off to a good/bad etc start: to start in a particular way
The day had got off to a bad start.
