Are these sentences natural? April 5

Hi,



Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?



1. I am better with email than phone in terms of being reached out.



2. Are those cabinets going to be belonged to the marketing department going forward?



3. Assuming that it is/was possible, what time would you be able to show up? (here the other person doesn’t know for sure if she would be able to attend a meeting. I wanted to know if she were to attend, when she could make it to the meeting)



Thanks,

MG.

Hi,

1. I am better with email than phone in terms of being reached out. I don't understand what the writer means by 'beng reached out'

I thought to reach out means to contact . I was trying to tell the other person that if she wants to contact me, she should use email instead of phone.

Hi,

In a context like this, just say 'reach'.
eg It's easier to reach me by email than by phone.
