I am writing the following sentence (I made it shorter for this question):
To achieve a better bound, we seek graphs with the following property.
I read that using the phrase “seek for” is not recommended or even incorrect. Is my sentence OK?
Thank you
Answer
Your sentence is OK.
Seek takes a direct object.
Seek for is understandable, but I don’t think a native speaker would ever say it.
