Pack the luggage

Hi

Are these natural expressions? Any suggestions please?

  1. Have you packed all the luggage? [Context: Before leaving for a three-day picnic]
  2. Can you pack two more shopping bags in your luggage?
  3. Can you keep two more shopping bags in your luggage?
  4. We were loading the luggage in our car when she dropped the tea thermos.
  5. We were putting the luggage in our car when she dropped the tea thermos.

Thanks,

Tom

A picnic focuses on spending a few hours eating outside. It is not normally overnight. I think you mean a trip.

This is a brand name also used as a generic word in North American English. Flask is used in British English.

I hear bags more than luggage.

3 days sounds more like a trip than just a picnic. You should review the term picnic. We don't usually take luggage on a picnic.

#2 and #3 seem slightly odd things to say.
