Common dialogue (but I need your help!)

[Falcon]

Hi there,

I'd like to know if the following sentences are correct (and make sense):

1- How things goes?
2- Have you got an email I (have) sent?
3- How(what) about your headache? Are you feeling better?

Well, these sentences are just simple dialogues but I don't know if they are well written. I know as well that have lots of dialogues seemed to these but I'd like to know those above.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks

I agree with curmudgeon. Another option for #1 is "How are things going?"

[Falcon]

Thanks guys.

In the #2, is optional the use of "have"?

Falcon

[curmudgeon]

Yes,

Have you got the email I sent?

Have you got the email I sent to you?

Have you received my email?

Informally: Got the e-mail I sent?

[Falcon]

That's ok...

Now, I have another doubt:

- "Do you know if he will take long?"

Is this sentence right? Do you understand what I mean?

Thanks

Falcon

[curmudgeon]

Do you know if it will take him long?

Do you know if he will be long?

Yes, it is correct. You are asking someone whether he knows if another person will take a long time to do a particular thing.

Exactly!!

So, the sentence I wrote - "Do you know if he will take long?" - and the sentence that Curmudgeon wrote - "Do you know if he will be long?" - has the same meaning, right?
