    Default Are these sentences natural? October 19


    Hi,

    Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

    1. Just about your comment that you don’t trust anybody, I don’t think I agree with that.

    2. We hope that changing /that changes in the next few months.

    3. What’s your name please?

    Thanks,
    MG.

    #2 is is OK with "changes".
    #3 is fine.
    The first part of #1 doesn't make sense.
