    Default Are these sentences natural? Dec 30


    Hi,

    Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

    1. Just want to know how much expenditure is covered for eye exams on my plan.

    2. Here is my problem, I have scheduled an eye exam next week….

    3. Can you give me your telephone number, just in case I need more information?

    Thanks,

    MG.

    'I'd use 'test' rather than 'exam' in the first two.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
