Are these sentences natural? July 20

Hi,

Are these sentences natural to a native ear?

1. I need to get some idea on current mortality and longevity rates. Is there a person in your organization who could talk to me about that? (should there be an article before ‘current’)

2. They must get the mixture of this in the market ( I was talking about the cupcake made by friend)

3. I didn’t invite you because I was not sure if you would like to spend time with us commons.

Thanks,
MG
