Are these sentences natural? Oct 2


Hi,

Are these sentences natural to a native ear?

1. He must not be very happy with me. ( I said this about a colleague who had to work late because of me.)

2. Apparently you get that condition if you wear shoes from an early age.

3. It seems they really take pride in sneezing loudly.

Thanks,
MG
