Are these sentences natural? Feb 9
Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?
[b]1. You might have heard this famous Sherlock Holmes quotation, “ if you…”
2. I don't want to get too deep into exactly how we positioned ourselves.
3. I think I understand the concept of random variable. ( is an article required before ‘random variable’)
[/B]Thanks,
MG.

#1 is fine.
In #2, use "get too deeply." (You'll hear native speakers use "too deep" in casual speech.")
In #3, I believe most people would simply use the plural, "the concept of random variables."
