    Default Are these sentences natural? December 6

    Hi,

    Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

    1. It is very hard to achieve even one of these objectives. If you could achieve one, you are million dollars.

    2. I can’t even bear to think about something like that happening to me.

    3. I thought they stopped/ have stopped showing their extravagant parties as client events.

    Thanks,
    MG.

    2. I can’t even bear to think about something like that happening to me. OK

    3. I thought they stopped/ have stopped showing their extravagant parties as client events. I thought they had stopped having extravagant parties as client events.
