Practice

"Doing practice in anger management can be extremely helpful."
Is the above sentence grammatically correct ?
Can we use the noun "practice" with "in" or should we use "at" as in
"Doing practice at anger management can be extremely helpful".
  

Top answer

" That would apply to just about anything, from anger management, to the clarinet, to a surgical technique. The noun practice does exist, of course, but you have practice, or hold practice, not "do" practice.

Hi,

The phrase "Doing practice in" should be replaced with "Practicing."

That would apply to just about anything, from anger management, to the clarinet, to a surgical technique.

The noun practice does exist, of course, but you have practice, or hold practice, not "do" practice.

But can I say "What you need now is some practice in anger management." ?
