Are these sentences natural? Aug 8
Hi,
Are these sentences natural to a native ear?
1. I have watched that movie. ( I was talking about the movie that I saw a couple of years ago)
2. Was it her or someone else’s timing better than Lochte? (I was talking about some Olympics swimmers)
3. Would she be 17 when she finishes her high school?
Thanks,
MG

Rover_KE3. 'Will she be 17 when she finishes at high school?'Interesting. US/UK difference? We'd say "Will she be 17 when she finishes high school?"
