Boys bunk school and play cricket and get home at the exact time as they "get".

Boys bunk school and play cricket and get home at the exact time as they "get".

This is an account of my experience that what guys do during their school time.

Boys bunk school and play cricket or wander here and there and get home at the exact time as they "get" or "would get" after attending school. (If they are suppose to reach home at 3 PM they would reach exactly at 3 PM as if they have returned from school.)

Boys leave field when they realise it is time for school to over and in order to reach home at an exact time at what they usually reach after school.

This is what we used to do when we were in the last two years of our school life 11th and 12th standard.

Please check my sentences.

"It is time for school to over and in order to reach home at an exact time at what they usually reach after school."

Could you please help me with these sentences as well? Although you have given me the amended version of my sentences. But I was just wondering whether these sentences can be used or amended?

Is it better to write 'This is what we often used to do...'?

No difference.

No difference.

"It is time for school to over and in order to reach home at an exact time at what they usually reach after school." How about this sentence?

That sentence is, unfortunately, a disaster from start to finish. I have no idea what you are trying to say. Please try to explain it in a different way and give us the context in which you might want to use it.

Boys stop playing when they realise that it is the time for the school to over (suppose its 2 PM and school overs at 2 PM daily). So at 2 PM they leave for their home in order to reach home at the same time at what they reach after attending school.

in order to reach home at the same time at what they reach after attending school.

The part above is still very unclear. Do you mean that they try to get home at the same time every day after school?

Yes.

"Over" is not a verb so you can't say "school overs". We say that "school is over" or "school finishes".

The boys stop playing football at the same time that school finishes so that they will get home at the same time they would if they had been to school.

Just one last question is my sentence correct If we are talking about the regular activity or a habit?

The boys stop playing football at the same time that school finishes so that they get home at the same time they get after "having been to the school" or "attending the school".

Neither version of your sentence is correct. The first problem is the part I have underlined, specifically the part in red. The second problem is one I'm sure we've told you before - you need to remove "the" before "school".

But this doesn't make it correct either. Can you correct it? After "would" we will have to use past perfect here.

Re: Boys bunk school and play cricket and get home at the exact time as they "get".

Both your suggestions are possible, giving us a total of three possible endings...

... so that they get home at the same time they would if they had been to school.
... so that they get home at the same time they would having been to school.
... so that they get home at the same they would after attending school.

It could also finish "... so that they get home at the same time they would had they been to school/had they attended school".
