Is "to GIVE classes" correct?
I've been told by a teacher (native - UK) it's WRONG (according to him, we should say "teach classes"), although I hear teachers (BR) say "give classes" all the time.
Is it right or wrong?
Many thx

APRESENTAÇÃO PESSOAL EM INGLÊS
Acho bem comum um professor dizer "I'm giving a class in writing skills", por exemplo. Esse "class" pode significar uma sessão única ou uma série de aulas, um curso.

thanks a lot
It is correct to say "to give a class". Maybe it is just not used in the UK, which I am not sure about.
One can use both, teach or give classes.
Maybe he´s afraid of using the word "give", so you don´t think you may think he won´t charge for them!
