Hi,



Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?



1. As if there are not enough headaches to worry about.

2. I was in full mood to call it quits yesterday.

3. I will take the blame if you will like.



Thanks,



MG.

Musicgold Are the following sentences natural to a native ear? The first is very natural, especially if you change are not to aren't , but technically not a complete sentence. Incomplete sentences like this one are heard often in conversation, so that takes nothing away from its naturalness.

Musicgold3. I will take the blame if you will like.
I often hear "would" in place of the second "will." (. . . . if you'd like.)
The underlining suggests you might be thinking of agreement of some kind.

The first "will" indicates future tense, whille the second would not.
