school Hi, there I have three questions about classes I would like to know if I can use hold up in the following sentences: . Student to his teacher: "Can I have a word with you on break? I don't want to hold up the lecture/class Does it sound odd? 2) Do you say "on break" as I did in the sentence above? "Can I have a work with you on(during)break"? 3) Does it sound odd to say (student to a teacher) "Can you dismiss us from class early today?" "Dismiss us early today, teacher", "Are we dismissed? Can we go home?"? Thank you so much

1. Can I have a word with you at break time. (This sounds slightly aggressive I would say: May I speak with you during the break) 2. Not on, during. 3. I'd be annoyed if my students asked that but the grammar is correct.
