Russian-English: translation intricacies

[Beeesneees]

Hi Tofu,

To 'enter school' in the examples in this thread means to be accepted into the school for the first time.
"enter school" = start (this) school for the first time or walk in to the school building.

"I go to school Monday to/through Friday."
"I attend school Monday to/through Friday."

Thank you, B.

"I went to school when I was six."
Does this imply "I didn't go to school when I was seven, eight, nine..."?

[Beeesneees]

No. It means you were first accepted into a school when you were six. From that point on, unless told differently, you were in school until now (if you are still at school) or at least the minimum leaving age.

"I entered school when I was six."
This, too, means that you were first accepted into a school when you were six, doesn't it?

[Beeesneees]

Yes, it can mean that.
