Are these sentences natural? October 14
Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?
1. When do you think will you be able to send me the file?
2. I am totally beat tonight from yesterday’s late night. ( from working late last night).
3. Remember, my mom and dad were friends with your mom and dad ( I am not sure ‘were’ is appropriate here)
Thanks,
MG.
