Class can be both countable as well as uncountable but the meanings are different:
I have a literature class on Friday. (I attend a literature course.)
These people have class. (They have style.)

thanks Torsten

so the sentence : He has class
is not grammatically correct?
even in slang language?
bcause I read some times in the net the question:( do you have class?) is that slang?


another question pleas
if I make question
Do they have class?

would the answer be:
-yes I do
-yes I have

which one is the correct answer?

thank you

:)
