Are these sentences natural? September 19

[musicgold]

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. As can be seen Appendix 1, the city’s population is racially well diversified.

2. Are you the one who is reporting in on me to the authorities ( I said this jokingly to a friend of mine)

3. Some of that will be made up by the end of the year. ( I was talking about the delay in a project)

Thanks,
MG.

1. Yes.

2. Delete in on.

3. Yes.

Add a question mark to the end of Sentence 2 (and delete "in on" as Rover said).

[Rover_KE]

Correct, ems. I missed that.

Thanks folks.

Doesn't #2 sound a bit different without any preposition between 'reporting' and 'me' ?

2b. Are you the one who is reporting me to the authorities.

Yes.

I think that 2. Are you the one who is reporting in on me to the authorities? is fine.


2. Are you the one who is reporting in ( for example, by telephone, at regular intervals) on me to the authorities
