✦Grammar Breakdown
¿Cuándoestupróximaclase?
¿Cuándo?
Interrogative adverb meaning 'when'. It always carries an accent on the 'á' to distinguish it from the conjunction 'cuando'.
es
Third‑person singular of the verb 'ser', used here to ask about the time of an event.
tu
Possessive adjective meaning 'your'. It is written without an accent; the accented form 'tú' is the subject pronoun.
próxima
Feminine form of the adjective 'próximo', meaning 'next' or 'upcoming'. It agrees with the feminine noun 'clase'.
clase
Noun meaning 'class' or 'lesson'. In Spanish it is feminine, so it takes the article 'la' (omitted in questions).

✕Common Mistakes
¿Cuando es tu próxima clase?
Missing accent changes the word to the conjunction 'when' (as in 'cuando llegues'), which is not used for questions.
¿Cuándo es tú próxima clase?
The possessive adjective should be 'tu' without an accent; 'tú' is the subject pronoun meaning 'you'.
¿Cuándo es tu próximo clase?
The adjective must agree in gender with 'clase' (feminine), so it should be 'próxima'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'clase' is used for both school lessons and adult language courses. When speaking with a teacher, you can add a polite 'por favor' or use the formal 'su' (¿Cuándo es su próxima clase?) if you need extra courtesy. Also, note that the 24‑hour clock is common in formal schedules, while informal talk often uses the 12‑hour format with 'de la mañana', 'de la tarde' or 'de la noche'.
