Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking schools, students often talk about 'prepararse' for a lesson, emphasizing personal responsibility for studying. The reflexive form is preferred over the non‑reflexive 'preparar' when you mean 'to get ready yourself'. Also, note that 'clase' is feminine, so the article is 'la'.
