Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to native ear?
1. I have put some water on the stove to boil.
2. Don't cut too much below on the packet or you will cut the contents inside. ( I am telling this a person who is cutting open a package with a pair of scissors).
3. Where was the last olympics held?
Thanks,
MG.

If you were giving me your scissors instructions over the phone, I might say, "What the heck are you talking about?"
