Attended/went two schools?
Hi. Could you tell me if we could write, "He attended/went two schools in (at?) XXX in YYYY"? For this, let us assume the alphabet letters "XXX" represent a certain place like any city in any country and the letters "YYYY" represent some year like 1990.
If we could, could you tell me if we could write "He attended/went a school in (at?) XXX in YYYY" (with the alphabet letters representing the same)? I am not sure but I think the sentence, "He attended/went a school in (at?) XXX in YYYY," is not correct but think we could write, "He attended/went a school that had some of the finest teachers in the area in YYYY" - also assuming the alphabet letters "YYYY" to be/representing some arbitrary year.

Of course you can add dates and places to a sentence. As far as going to school is concerned, there are two common alternatives: He went to school in Scotland in the 1990s. He attended school in Scotland in the 1990s.
