Are these sentences natural? May 6

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. What is going to be the free-rent period for this lease?

2. Can you give me some pointers as to where I can / would get good deals if I am/was buying a new camera?

3. Will I have to restart my system to get the fix active?

Thanks,

MG.

MG, Sentence one is natural and I would expect a typical American to speak the sentence. Sentence two is a little rough on the ears. I would try the following: Can you recommend a good place to buy a camera?

MG,

Sentence one is natural and I would expect a typical American to speak the sentence.

Sentence two is a little rough on the ears. I would try the following:

Can you recommend a good place to buy a camera?

Sentence three also sounds a little off. I would try:

Will I have to restart my system to activate the fix?

Hope this helps!

These are more natural to my ear.

1. What is the free-rent period going to be for this lease?

(I have no idea what a 'free-rent period' is.)

2. Can you give me some pointers as to where I could get a good deal on a new camera?

Do you know where I could get a good deal on a new camera?

3. Will I have to restart my system to activate the fix?

I would recommend:

2) Where would I get the best deal for a new camera?

3) Do I need to restart my system to activate the effect (of the fix/patch)?
