Question

My sister and I were having a disagreement about using the word redundant. The statement made was, " paul taking the meds himself was redundant." Our question is this, was redundant used correctly in this sentence?

Answer 1

Redundant is the act not the person. Tom's taking the mess is redundant. (Assuming he's already done so or taken similar meds)
