Question

Could you please help me correct these few sentences please?

1 I like having finished all my work when she's the one taking over for me in the morning. When it's him taking over for my shift, I don't mind finishing my work with him around.

2 This is the juice people drink the most.

3 You jinx me and then you're surprised I've lost the match.

4 Every time I break a glass, I feel like I've gotten a millimeter shard of glass in my eye, even though I haven't

5 The wifi doesn't extend to the 3rd floor. You won't be able to pick it up.

Thank you

I had a few questions

for 1

Is there nothing unnatural about one? I can't believe its perfect.

For 4

a millimeter shard (trying to say a microscopic piece) is there a word you would use and is there anyway to say the sentence?

for 5

Is "extend" the word to use?

Thank you Graeme

1 - what is natural? I probably wouldn't speak like that, but amongst friends I can speak in an exceptionally lazy way. (e.g. very informal)

4 - then say "microscopic piece" or "tiny/microscopic shard"

5 - You could use "extend" or "reach"
