class
form grade yearA class is a group of pupils or students who are taught together.
In some British schools and in some American private schools, form is used instead of 'class'. Form is used especially with a number to refer to a particular class or age group.
In British English, a year is a set of students of a similar age, who started school at around the same time.
A grade in an American school is similar to a form or a year in a British school.
year
A year is a period of 365 or 366 days, beginning on the first day of January and ending on the last day of December.
A year is also any period of twelve months.
You can use year when you are mentioning the age of a person or thing.
Be Careful!
When you use year to talk about age, you must use old after it. Don't say, for example, 'She is now seventy-four years'.
