@kickenilse Great! Thank you!. There were three classes, so Should I say "the last day of classes"? Or "the last day of the classes"?

@u-1 It’s better to say “the last day of classes” because 'The' isn't used with plurals when that plural implies a general reference, only when that plural implies a specific group

@kickenilse I'm a bit confused. You mean "the last day of class" is the best answer, but it's possible to say "the last day of classES". However, "the last day of THE classES" is definitely wrong. Is my understanding correct? I'm sorry. I'm slow!

@u-1 No it’s fine! Let me explain it like this:
Possible and correct to say:
(The) Last day of/in classes
(The) Last day of/in class
Wrong:
Last day of THE classES
Last day of THE class
Your understanding is correct! And you’re definitely not slow.
