I'm writing an email to a teacher and I'm trying to say "two weeks ago, you substituted for the teacher of my class". I'm trying to figure out how to say "substituted" and I haven't been able to figure out the right word in the context of a class. I've found 替代,代替,取代, etc., and I can't figure out which one's correct in this context.

  • It is rather impolite to say "you substituted for the teacher of my class" whether in English or in Mandarin.

It could be“两周前您代我们班老师讲课” I've made subtle changes In the translation to make it natural and polite.

'you substituted for the teacher of my class' = 你给我们班代课
