Hi, I would consider them all sentences if a full stop were at the end of each of them. Otherwise, I'm afraid that all your so-called sentences would be grammatically named fragments. Regards

Hi,

maybe I was not clear enough..

Sentence 1: I need to know if it is possible to say "I have interest IN your company" or maybe "I am interested in your company"??

Sentence 2: "I am interested IN getting and offer" or "to get an offer"?

Sentence 3: alreday asked in the previous point

Sentence 4: "I have problems TO understand or IN understanding" ??

Hi,

I intended it as a joke, but it's really important to pay attention to correct punctuation.

I have interest in your company - Correct.

I am interested in your company - Correct.

I am interested in getting an offer - Correct.

I have problems in understanding / I have difficulties [in] understanding - Correct.

Dear all,

thanks.

I would say "I have an interest in old cars" but in this case I would just say it without "an".

Thanks

Hi,

You can have interest—yet I'm not adding the an—in something or somebody.
