Are these sentences natural? January 21

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. John (has) suggested that you could pick up our food on your way here.

2. I feel as if nothing is coming out of my throat, no matter how much I have practiced the speech before. (I am talking about generally what happens when I get in front of a group of people to speak)

3. We will be referencing to / referring to a slide presentation during our remarks today.

Thanks,

MG.

In 3 use either referencing a slide presentation or referring to a slide presentation , not referencing to . Otherwise all OK to my ear. You don't need the comma in 2.
