Recently, Rim and Teply , using the notion of τ -exact modules, found a necessary condition for the existence of τ -torsionfree covers with respect to a given hereditary torsion theory τ for the category R -mod of all unitary left R -modules over an associative ring R with identity. Some relations between τ -torsionfree and τ -exact covers have been investigated in . The purpose of this note is to show that if σ = ( 𝒯 σ , σ ) is Goldie’s torsion theory and σ is a precover class, then τ is a precover class whenever τ σ . Further, it is shown that σ is a cover class if and only if σ is of finite type and, in the case of non-singular rings, this is equivalent to the fact that τ is a cover class for all hereditary torsion theories τ σ .
