class or classes - what is the difference?
Is there any difference in meaning in the following sentences?
1) I have class on Monday and Tuesday.
2) I have classes on Monday and Tuesday.
If I want to say that I have lessons (as a student) at school on Monday and Tuesday, which one is correct?

Depends on how many lessons (classes) you have. In general, the -es affix makes the plural form. Example:
One lesson = class
Two lessons = classes
However, I should note that both forms are correct in the two sentences you've noted, at least in everday speech (if you were discussing your schedule with someone). 'I have class' is more colloquial (i.e. between two students). Here it comes down to context and who you're speaking to.

In American English the sentences are equivalent, in British English we would say 'classes' or 'school'.
