How to use "rehearsal" and "rehearse"

[hirashin]

Hello, native English speakers. Would someone help me?

I think you can say
(a) The drama club has rehearsals in the music room.

But how about (b) , (c) and (d)?
(b) The drama club does rehearsals in the music room.
(c) The drama club gives rehearsals in the music room.
(d) The drama club rehearses in the music room.

Thanks in advance.

c) no
d) yes

Thanks for the help, Mike. Don't you ever say "do rehearsals" or "give rehearsals"?

You could say the club "does its rehearsing" at such-and-such place, and you may hear "do rehearsals", I suppose, but I don't think it would be technically correct.

You can't "give" a rehearsal, although you do "give" a show. The difference is that a show is intended to be placed before others, much like a gift. A rehearsal isn't meant for outside eyes.
