Grammar
Usage of "AS"
Hi,
I have two questions in the sentence below.
Despite the job losses, Parker remained as manager.
a) When do I have to put "as"? Is it incorrect to say, "Parker remained manager"?
b) Why there is no "a" before manager? Is it being used as (a) job title? Or there's no need to put "a" after as?
Thank you,
M
