Is this sentences correct

[english_learn]

"You need to update the master record document with with the recent approval details"


Is the above sentence correct ?

[MartinEnglish]

Yes, but the original question should be "Are these sentences correct?"

[Odessa Dawn]

Why do we have two prepositions? Does that mean that a punctuation mark after the first with has been omitted? Does the first sentence end after the word with that is being typed in bold?


Thank you,

There should not be two "with"s in the original sentence. I think MartinEnglish did the same thing I did on first reading, and only noticed one "with". I only realised there were two when I saw your question in post #3.

One "with" would be correct.

Thank you,

Nice catch. I missed that perhaps because the first "with" is in bold lettering.
