    Default Are these sentences natural? Jan 25


    Hi,

    Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

    1. In this new light, It has started to become hard to justify our actions.

    2. I have a question with regards to when you plan to publish your quarterly newsletter.

    3. I am looking for someone who might be able to tell me when you are going to release your next quarterly newsletter.

    Thanks,
    MG.

    Apat from the capital 'I' typo in the first, they are all fine.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Thanks, Bill. I missed that.
