on Monday or on Mondays

Is it on Monday or on Mondays?
Henry is learning German. His classes begin at six on Monday(s) and at five on Friday(s).

I am not a teacher.

I would use Mondays and Fridays. I'm sure someone will disagree.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Not this boy. Plural is correct. The classes are on more than one Monday and Friday.

 

[SoothingDave]

I would use the plural as well, but wouldn't complain if I saw it as singular.

Henry is learning German. His class begins at six o'clock on Mondays and five o'clock on Fridays.

I assume it is one class which meets twice a week.

Maybe class=course and classes=lessons?

A course is not the same as a class or lesson.

A course is an instructional offering by an institution which is usually offered every semester or once an academic year. A course has a description and is part of a guided program toward a degree or certificate.

A class is a single offering of a course for that semester. There is usually a syllabus, an instructor and dates and times of meetings.

A lesson is part of the curriculum (or lesson plan) in a class. Usually, it is listed in the syllabus.
