What is wrong with this sentence: "He is currently replacing the position of Mr. Reynold temporarily"?
1 Answer
remove "the position of" and either "temporarily" or "currently" to arrive at "He is currently replacing Mr. Reynold" or "He is replacing Mr. Reynold temporarily".
Explanation:
I see two things wrong with the sentence.
The first thing I see wrong is that the person who is replacing Mr. Reynold is not replacing the position, just Mr. Reynold himself. To fix that, remove "the position of".
The other thing I see wrong is that the use of "currently" indicates that the replacement is of an indefinite or temporary nature, so the use of the words "temporarily" and "currently" is redundant. One of them can be eliminated.
By eliminating "the position of" and "temporarily", we end up with the sentence "He is currently replacing Mr. Reynold". Alternatively, we can keep the word "temporarily" and delete "currently", to arrive at "He is replacing Mr. Reynold temporarily".
