Could you tell me if sentences are natural?
I'm having trouble figuring out if these sentences are natural?
Could you help me correct them?
1 What year is your car? (how would you say this?)
2 You know if people are over 21 by whether they are drinking alcohol or not.
3 What time is dinner served?/What time do they serve dinner?
4 They looked into why all these people had died.
5You are messing with her head more than mine/you're messing with mine.
6 I'm suprised you weren't able to up with more to than just do that.
7 What would two people called X and Y call their child?
8 He doesn't have big enough pecks/pecks big enough to satisfy her.
Thank you

alc24One more thingI really think it is better not to "piggy-back" questions. Once you have an answer to your question, people might not be inclined to check your post again. Better to post a new question instead of "one more thing" after your original post has been answered.
