Is it okay not to use "as" after "be called","be considered","be elected"?
1.The decade of the 1970's is sometimes called the Jazz Age.(Original sentence)
2.King James considered her a genius. (Original sentence)
3.Mrs Sanderson was elected President.(Original sentence)
All sentences seemed unatural to me because I haven't seen these sentence structures before.
I think sentence all three sentences need "as". Like this way in the sentences 1, 2, 3 "~called as~.","~her as a genius.", "~elected as~." to make sense. Am I understanding correctly? Or would you give me some explanations about these?
