Hold
Hello everyone,
If someone's a teacher and he tells their students "You'll become teachers and replace me." In the sentence between the quotation marks, isn't it neater to use "hold" instead of "replace"?as follows:
- You'll become/be teachers like me and hold my position in the future.
Is that sentence above OK by using "hold"?
Regards,
JA
