Hello.

Are the following dialogues grammatically correct?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taylor walked from side to side of the street very anxious.


-"Calm down Sir. I know him and his modus operandi very well. When you had deposited the money?", Brad said.

-"Today, early in the morning.", Taylor replied.

-"We are still on time. I can help you to get your money back. But you have to help my friend Kevin first."

Thanks!.

Note that you shouldn't capitalize "sir" here. Capitalize that word only when it is used as a title.
