Good evening or good morning! I have a question about a couple of phrases, the use of which I often get confused about.
'We read aloud bits of the book in turn.'
'We took it in turns to read aloud bits of the book.'
Are both of these the correct ways of saying the idea that they read aloud the book one after the other repeatedly?
'We read aloud bits of the book in turn.'
'We took it in turns to read aloud bits of the book.'

Both are correct, however you can substitute 'bits' for 'parts', or even 'passages' since you're talking about books.

Both convey the same meaning.
"We took turns reading aloud parts/passages of the book"
"We read aloud parts/passages of the book in turn."
