They are all grammatically correct (some need punctuation work), but several of them are awkward, unnatural or of mixed register. In your reading, you may notice that native speakers tend to repeat the same structures, not produce all theoretically possible variations.

Could you tell which of them are awkward, unnatural, etc? I have been told by native speakers that one and the same phrase can be rephrased in many diffrent ways English. I wrote the fisrt sentence and I was just curious how many variations would be possible. How do native speakers repeat the same structures? Could you give me an example?
Thanks
