Q: How long is the English class?
How much time is the English class?
How long is the English class?
A: The English class is fifty minutes long.

* Are the questions and the answer right?

My friend gave me the answer sentence(A) and asked me what the interrogative sentence is. I am not very sure and gave her those interrogative sentences.
Thank you.

How much time (or: how long) do you need to get ready.
How much time have we got left?
How long is the English lesson?
