Grammar
Repaint the walls
a. We need to repaint the walls in our classrooms. The paint keeps rubbing off.
b. We need to replace the benches in our campus. They keep breaking because they're so rotten/decayed.
Are these two sentences grammatical and natural to say?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
b. Why do you use two prepositions "on in" in sentence b "replace the benches on in our campus"? I made a careless mistake. I meant to cross out 'in'. Only 'on' is correct.
