    Default Are these sentences natural? December 23


    Hi,

    Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

    1. How much impact do a city’s medical policies have on small business like ours?

    2. Don’t worry too much about it; those paragraphs would have had to be changed anyways.

    3. The facility was converted from single user facility to multi user facility ( I don’t know if I have to repeat ‘facility’ so many times)

    Thanks,
    MG.

    3. The facility was converted from single-user (facility) to multi-user facility.

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    How about this version of #3?

    3a. The facility was converted from a single-user to a multi-user facility.
