Question

Are these sentences correct and natural? Thank you!
1. "He is very meticulous on the subject of private life"
2. "I am happy your tentative diagnosis of pneumonia  has occurred to be wrong"

Answer

The first is correct, but a bit unnatural. It's unusual to use 'private life' as a non-specific term.
In the second, 'occurred' is not the right word. 'turned out' would be a much better and more natural choice.
