Are these sentences natural? Sept 17
Hi,
Are these sentences natural to a native ear?
1. In the columns D onwards, you will be able to see our estimates. ( I was referring to columns in an Excel file)
2. He looks like he will commit a suicide. ( was kidding with a colleague)
3. Wasn't that the message to / from the movie? (which one is more appropriate?)
Thanks,
MG

2. It's "commit suicide", not "commit a suicide".
3. You want the message "of" the movie if you mean the message the movie is trying to convey. Neither "to" nor "from" works for that.
