Are these sentences natural? November 30

[musicgold]

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Which section has (the) hammers? ( I asked this question at a departmental store)

2. Are you already feeling those shoes tight on you?

3. Do you have winter tiers ( I asked a cab driver while sitting in the cab)

Thanks,
MG.

1. "Where can I find a hammer?" or "Where are the hammers?" is natural to me. And it's "department store."

2. I am not sure why you used "already"?

3. This is OK, except it's spelled "tires" (AmE) or "tyres" (BrE). And you need a question mark at the end. I would say "snow tires," but "winter tires" is OK.

2. 'Do those shoes feel tight on you?' would be even more natural.

1. Which section are the hammers in?
Where are the hammers?
Where can I find the hammers?

2. Do those shoes feel tight on you already?
Are your shoes feeling tight already?
(I have kept "already" in here because for all I know it might be important to the context.)

3. Do you have snow tyres?
Do you have winter tyres?

Thanks folks.
I've a couple of follow up questions, if you don't mind.

Where can I find the hammers?

Why are we using a definite article here?

Are your shoes feeling tight already?

Also, how about this?
Are your shoes tight already?

Where can I find the hammers?

Why are we using a definite article here?
Where can I find the hammers (that I know you keep in stock).

It's also fine without any article.
