Learn English – Formal way to say “as many times as he wishes”

phrase-request

I wrote this sentence

Student is able to listen a word as many times as he wishes

Are there more formal ways, or other alternatives to say that?

Best Answer

It's okay as it is, except that listen a word should be listen to a word.

However, unless you are describing a system that is only for male students, the practice of using he to refer to a person of unknown gender is becoming obsolete, and may strike some readers as sexist. You may wish to write:

A student may listen to a word as many times as he or she wishes.

Or rephrase to use the plural:

Students may listen to words as many times as they wish.

Or rephrase completely:

A student may listen to a word an unlimited number of times.
