Hello
1- exercise is essential in maintaining a healthy body.
2- we tend to walk less and do desk jobs.
Is the "in" preposition used correctly with essential here?
And is the "desk jobs" naturally a correct collocation to use in our speaking and writing?
Thank you

1: use to or for instead of in.
2: work on instead of do.
Desk jobs is fine.
Hope this helps :)

Hi Mohammed,
I would use the preposition "for" instead of "in".
And you can safely say and write desk jobs.
Hope that helps!
