Questions & Answers about Где ваш класс?
Why do we use ваш here instead of ваша or ваше?
Ваш means "your" (formal or plural). We use the masculine form ваш because the noun it describes, класс, is a masculine word. If the noun were feminine, like школа (school), you would use ваша.
What is the difference between вы and ваш?
Вы is the personal pronoun "you" (formal or plural), used as the subject of a sentence. Ваш is the possessive pronoun "your", used to show ownership. Because we are talking about "your class", we need the possessive ваш.
Why is there no word for "is" in this sentence?
In Russian, the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) is almost always skipped. So, Где ваш класс? literally translates to "Where your class?".
Does класс mean the physical room or the group of students?
Just like in English, класс can mean both the physical classroom itself and the group of students taking the class, depending on the context.
