Share in something
Hi
I 've found the following sentences:
He has no right to a share [in] profits.
I try to get the kids to share [in] the housework.
Management and the union both share [in] the responsibility for the crisis.
Can I remove 'in' in all of these and will this affect the meaning?
Thanks!
