She drove the car into a tree and then told me it was my fault for not concentrating, of all the nerve!
Does it mean
She drove the car into a tree and then told me it was my fault for not her concentrating, of all the nerve!
According to grammar rules, do we need the word her in the sentence?
Can we use the word her in the sentence if we want to, even though, strictly, it is considered redundant?
I am not even sure that I put the word her on the right place.
Thanks
her, needed or not?

Re: her, needed or not?
Hi Tukanja,
The 'her' is probably needed, because otherwise I would think it is me not concentrating.
I would probably rephrase it like this:
She drove the car into a tree and then told me it was my fault for breaking her concentration, of all the nerve!
The "her" is not in the right place. It should be:
She drove the car into a tree and then told me it was my fault for her not concentrating, of all the nerve!
