Is I rode the bus to school all year correct grammar?

The grammar is technically correct, but it's a bit awkward. Here's why and a better way to phrase it:

* Awkwardness: The sentence is in the past tense, but it implies a repeated action over a longer period.

* Better Phrase: "I took the bus to school all year." This makes the sentence more clear and grammatically sound.

Here's a breakdown:

* "Rode" is a past tense verb used for a single instance of riding.

* "Took" is a past tense verb that can describe a repeated action.

You could also say:

* "I rode the bus to school every day." This emphasizes the repetition.

Ultimately, both options are grammatically correct, but the second is more natural and flows better.
