Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. What happened to the game? ( I wanted to know who won in a soccer game)

2. I am no expert on this subject but when I read the report I felt like the author was talking out of his a*s.

3. They have won two games in a row/ in a series.

Thanks,
MG.

I agree with Bhaisahab on 2 and 3, but with 1, if you're talking about a sports result...

What happened in the game? (Who won? Who lost? What was the score?)

- What happened in the game?
- Manchester United were leading 2-0 at halftime, but then Brighton suddenly found some inspiration and won 3-2!

Your sentence would be fine if, for example, you wanted to know why you didn't seem to be able to find a copy of a computer game in the shops any more.

- What happened to the game?
- Which game?
- Pac-Man.
- Oh, they don't sell it any more.

Thanks folks.

3. They have won two games in a row/ in a series. Yes.

3b. They have won two games in in a series ( here by 'in a series' I want to say 'consequtively').

Is the setence correct?

In that case you should use "consecutively".

And only one 'in'.
