Usage of 'timings' #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 23, 2009 12:57 pm   Usage of 'timings'
 

John: What are the timings of the Yoga classes?
Jack: 5 to 6 in the evening.

Does the above conversation sound natural? Can timings be used in this case?

Hi Daemon,

I would simply say: What times are the evening classes? or At what times do the classes take place?

'Timing' has more the idea of indicating the appropriateness of the time something takes place as in: Your timing was perfect because you arrived exactly at the right time.
