But if you want to wish your friend a good time in class, there's no reason why you shouldn't. | |

| Nov 21, 2019 at 19:21 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | It's a matter of idiomaticity, not grammaticality. "Have a nice day" is fine, especially in the States (it tends to cloy if used over-familiarly in the UK). "Have a nice holiday / trip / walk / Easter / Christmas / meal" are fine. But "Have a nice class / lecture / exam / drive (borderline) / game" just don't work. | |
