Are these sentences natural? November 17

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. What I wear on a particular day depends on how I am feeling that particular morning.



2. I think they have started to come around to our side. (was talking about office politics)



3. And the good man, John, over here, will help you with your request.

Thanks,

MG.

Thanks Clive.

One follow up on #1.

I feel that teses are mixed up here. I am using the simple present in the first clause, and the present continuous in the second clause. What about the following version?

1A. What I wear on a particular day depends on how I feel that particular moring.
