Are these sentences natural? April 27 Hi, I am a newbie here. I am working on my English fluency. Though my sentences are generally gramatically correct, they tend not to be natural or idomatic. I hope native speakers here will help me with this problem. Are the following sentences natural to a native ear? 1. Do you get an overhang form drinking this? 2. Over next five years we want to grow this company twice/ double. 3. However much you feel that way, it is not going to happen. Thanks, MG. |
Re: Are these sentences natural? April 27 1. Do you get a hangover from drinking this? An "overhang" is a piece of rock which sticks out from a cliff or mountain side. If you search Google images for cliff overhang you'll see some examples. A "hangover" is how you feel after drinking too much. 2. Over the next few years we want to grow this company to twice/double its size. The expression "to grow a company" is fairly new in the language, and still sounds strange to me. But it's used a lot. Sentence 3 sounds possible to me. |
