Grammar
2 INS or JUST 1 IN needed
Hello
How come in the first sentence the IN at the end of the sentence, in my opinion doesn't need to be there and in the second sentence there are 2 INs?
and can you use "so as to" like this?
1 When riding double on a moped, the person behind needs to turn his body in the direction that the driver is turning (in) so as not to produce a counterweight by turning your body in the opposite direction.
2 When riding double on a moped, the person behind needs to turn his body in the direction in which the driver is turning.
Thank you

Hello You can leave out the second "in" it does not add anything to the sentence. Yes you can use "so as to" in that way.

Why is the second IN of the first sentence in the parenthesis? Was it there originally? If yes then there are two INs in the first sentence and the second IN does not really need to be there, in my oppinion. As LouiseT said it does not add anythging to the sentence

I just reread your first sentence and there are actually three INs there including the one in the parenthesis. Which one are you talking about?

Thank you everyone,
Apart from the INS, Is the sentence grammatical or would you change it to read something else?
I just wrote the above and thought to myself can you even say that? "would you change it to read something else?"
