Could you help me to fix my sentences? >>Please check if my sentences if they 're natural in life! sound natural!
There are different ways to phrase the sentences below. I will correct them as best I can, as a native English speaker. Also, some of my corrections refer to the other person's corrections.
a: Who did this?
b: James, did. I saw that it.
a: Bring him to me right now!!
b: James! Mom's calling you!>>>제임스! 엄마가 너 불러!(Korean meaning) (This is correct and sounds more natural than "mom is calling you", but is abrupt and confusing out of context).
2)
a: Amily, You got a top score on the test? (this sounds the most natural, good job)
b: Who told you that?
a: A little birdie told me (this is the saying).
b: No way! Something someone was wrong!
3)
a: Who's next? Come here who get the number 173 You don't need the "who's next if you are then going to say who is next (anwering your own questions. Simply say. "Number 173, please come forward" You do not need "the customer", as that is implied an unnatural sounding.
b: I'm the number 173 (the person is not literally the number 173. They would say: I'm 173)
a: Mr. John Tyler? your Total cost is $24 (most of the time, they will say: It'll be $24, or it comes to $24, or something similar)
b: I'll pay in cash.
4)
a: Who's the lucky guy?
b: He is a fashion businessman, and he is younger than me, and handsome! (you would probably say: he works in the fashion industry. People don't say: fashion businessman)
a: Where is your man? Where can I see him?
b: There he is!
5)
a: Who were you talking to?
b: My dad. He told me my grandfather is very sick.
a: I'm sorry about that. (Much more natural to say: I'm sorry to hear that, or just I'm sorry)
b: I have to go to see my grandpa after the work is over. (you still need "my grandpa, to let us know who you are speaking of)
