Dear native English speakers,
I have a question. One of my students wrote
1a) It takes ten minutes to the school by walking.
I don't think it is correct.
How would you say it instead? How about these?
1b) It takes ten minutes to walk to the school.
1c) It is a ten-minute walk to the school.
1d) It is ten minutes to the school on foot.
1e) The school is a ten-minute walk.
Thanks in advance.
