Hi all of you,

One of the English teachers at Bradful School ( I made that up) was absent, because she was ill. Being an English teacher myself I was called by the school to replace her during the time of her absence.

Did I use replace correctly in this context?
Is during the time of her absence used correctly?

Thanks
Alexandro

It’s okay but sounds a little stiff and overlong. ‘… during her absence’ would be fine.

Thanks again/ Alex.

''to replace her"

sounds bad to my ear.

Thanks

There’s nothing wrong with it.
