I saw resit an exam this morning , interesting.
So I am wondering...how do you say when you have a class you can't do and you have to do it another day?
make up?
the sentence in Spanish is:
Tengo que recuperar la clase.

Class, If for whatever reason we can't meet on Wednesday, we'll make it up on Friday!
Johnny, I know your test was scheduled for today, but I have to go to the dentist. We can make it up on Wednesday..
Attention, for those of you who did not attend class due to yesterday's snowstorm, there will be a makeup test on Monday.
Ms.Hedita, I'm sorry I was not in class yesterday for the test. I was sick. Is there anyway I can do a makeup test?
Ladies and gentlemen! The math test is scheduled for Tuesday at 9:00 am., I suggest you be on time, and well prepared. There will be no makeups!
(Just some thoughts).
Since you are going to teach the makeup class, I would say:
- I am going to give a makeup class
- I am going to have a makeup class
- I am going to teach a makeup class
- There is going to be a makeup class
Let's catch up Monday¡s class on Thursday.
I don't think that I would use the expression "catch up" quite like this. If you wanted to use this [removed]or similar expressions) you might try something like:
? This Thursday, let's try to catch up on what was missed during Monday's class
? Why don't you come to class on Thursday, so I can try to bring you up to speed on what you missed during Monday's lecture.
? This Thursday, let's try to make-up the material/lecture that you missed on Monday.
? When you come to class on Thursday, let's try to go over what you missed on Monday.
? On Thursday, in order to try to make up for lost time, in addition to the new material, we are going to try to cover the material that you missed on Monday.
I am not able to do the class on Monday so I will do it on Thursday
I suppose, depending on the context, a sentence such as this would not be too unreasonable. For example, if a teacher were to give a student the option of having a class on either Monday or Thursday, the student might conceivably respond with what you have suggested. Other similar sentences might be:
? I can't make it to the class on Monday, so I was hoping that I might make it up on Thursday.
? I am going to be absent on Monday, and I would like to know if Thursday would be a good day to go over the material that I missed.
? I am going to be absent on Monday, and I would like to know if Thursday would be a good day to cover the material that I missed.
? I will have to miss class on Monday, and I would like to know if Thursday would be a good day to make up what I missed.
? I won't be able to do/take the class on Monday, so I would like to/will have to reschedule it for Thursday. (Here the class is scheduled for Monday, but the student is not able to make this date and must therefore reschedule—In this scenario, it would seem that the teacher has offered the option to make the class up at a later date that might be more convenient to the students schedule).
In any case, these are just a few examples off the top of my head of what one might hear in my neck of the woods.
Interesting, I don't think we ever use 'makeup' like that, I've certainly never heard it used in that way.
If we heard 'can you do a makeup class' we'd think you were talking about a class to learn how to apply makeup lol 
As you mentioned Heidi, we would say we have to 'resit' an exam - or 'redo' but that would mean that we'd already taken the exam once, failed (or for some other reason) and then have to do it again.
However, if a teacher was to organize another class for one that she couldn't do for some reason I think she would simply say:
Let's reschedule today's class for next monday.
Or if I had to think of a phrase that we might possibly use I'd have to say 'catch up' class but I'm not sure that even that sits exactly right with me.
off the top of my head of what one might hear in my neck of the woods.
I don't think you realize, jejej, but this is one hell of a sentence!! Mystery sentence of the day, jeje
I understand, but the use of head and neck at the same time with such a different meaning, very funny.
Thanks a lot everybody, I think I will go with makeup, that will stick in my head anyway, jeje, thanks to Kiwi, as she mentioned the make up class, that is to put on make up. 
Muchas gracias amigos
Thanks Jack, so I could say to one individual student:
Let's do the make up class on Monday.
right?
But not: Let's do your make up class on Monday, or, let's do the make up class for you ....
In Spanish this is quite different.
So, asking him or her:
When can you do the make up class?
Is that ok?
It's really quite flexible. Make-up is just an adjective describing class (exam, test, whatever). So, whatever you can do with a class (test, exam, whatever), you can do with a make-up class (exam, test, whatever).
I can set up a make-up class for you next Thursday.
Lucky for you, I'm having/doing/offering/giving/teaching a make-up class next Thursday.
Unfortunately, there are no make-up classes.
I am not able to teach/to give the class on Monday so I will reschedule it for Thursday.
I'll do a make-up class next Thursday. I'm going to do a make-up next Thursday. I'll make it up next Thursday, I have to do a make-up next Thursday, etc. '
There shouldn't be a "to you", unless you and professor are good friends or something?
Yes, a make-up. One also speaks of a make-up test/exam.
When can you do the make up class? is right or When can you take the make up class? is right also.
You are giving the class, they are taking the class.
Let's do the make up class on Monday is right. Let's do your make up class on Monday is right. Can you do a make up class next Thursday? is right Class is most likely necessary in that case. Let's do the make up class for you is wrong.
Gracias.
Hmmm, but what do you say:
I will make this class up to you next Thursday.
???
I can set up a make-up class for you next Thursday.
Unfortunately, there are no make-up classes.
Wow, great webdunce, this is another sentence I was thinking about...
I never make up a class unless I am the one who misses it for some reason.
To set up ...great.
One last question: I never make up a class, lesson unless...or is it....I never make a class up...
I guess it is the first, to make a class up sounds like to invent a class.
Hey, catch up sounds good too!
how about:
Let's catch up Monday¡s class on Thursday.
I am not able to do the class on Monday so I will do it on Thursday...
Is that possible?Does not sound correct....
Hmmm, the fact is it is me who is going to make up the class for the student.
So am I saying to the guy:
Can you do a make up class next Thursday?
So "class" is not necessary in the sentence?
