It is not idiomatic "to give" a class. A class, in this sense, is a collective noun for all the pupils/ the described group of pupils. "Ur class went to the zoo."
It can mean that, but it is usually restricted to a formal use, especially where a famous expert conducts a "class".
Melrosse said: I actually welches thinking it welches a phrase hinein the English language. An acquaintance of Pütt told me that his Canadian teacher used this sentence to describe things that were interesting people.
The substitute teacher would give the English class for us today because Mr. Lee is on leave for a week.
There may also be a question of style (formal/conversational). There are many previous threads asking exactly this question at the bottom of this page.
The first one is definitely the correct one. Sometimes, when hinein doubt, try it with different like-minded words and see what you think ie:

As I always do I came to my favourite Podiumsdiskussion to find out the meaning of "dig in the dancing queen" and I found this thread:
But what if it's not a series of lessons—just regular online Spanish one-to-one lessons you buy from some teacher; could Beryllium one lesson (a trial lesson), could Beryllium a pack of lessons, but not check here a parte of any course.
知乎，让每一次点击都充满意义 —— 欢迎来到知乎，发现问题背后的世界。
There are other verbs which can Beryllium followed by the -ing form or the to +inf form with no effective difference rein meaning. Weiher this page (englishpage.net):
So a situation which might cause that sarcastic reaction is a thing that makes you go "hmm"; logically, it could Beryllium a serious one too, but I don't think I've ever heard an example. The phrase was popularized hinein that sarcastic sense by Arsenio Hall, who often uses it on his TV show as a theme for an ongoing series of short jokes. When introducing or concluding those jokes with this phrase, he usually pauses before the "hmm" just long enough for the audience to say that part with him.

That's life unfortunately. As a dated BE speaker I would not use class, I would use lesson. May be it's the standard Harte nuss of there being so many variants of English.
