Wub Please help. I'll be your best friend!

Anyway, how do i use a modifying verb for the following in japanese...i want to say "Please tell me what you studied in class today."

I guess I have a few problems
1) I'm not sure how to say "the things" like "the things we studied in class" benkyo o suru "what". Like the book i read "yonda hon", hon is the subjetc. What should i use as subject here?

2) THen i want to put it in sentence. Like
Ashita kyo no clasu de benkyo o suru (things) o (ni?) kiite kudasai.

Oh, my japanese is so bad. Please help!

Hi

It should be:

Kyou Kurasu (Class) de benkyo shita KOTO oshiete kudasai

You are right about the KOTO thing

The above construction is also perfectly acceptable but it should be

kyou no jugyou de wa donna koto nitsuite benkyou shita ka oshiete kuremasenka?

hmm this would be

Ashita no kurasu de benkyou suru koto wo kiite kite kudasai.
Please go find out for me what we are studying for tomorrow's class.

or

Kinou no kurasu de benkyuo shita koto wo oshiete kudasai
Please tell me what we studied in yesterday's class.


(Time wise it would make no sense to say

Tomorrow, can you ask what we did today?)

PS
Yeah jugyou is weird here, but you can use "jugyou de" or" jugyou nite"
