Unless you are talking to your language teacher, it wouldn’t really be appropriate to ask that question. If you’re not being clear, provide as many details as you can and ask if the person understands you.

All of them work pretty good!

All of the above are good, but if you just want to make sure someone understands you, you could say “Does that make sense?” or “Am I making sense?”
However, if you are practicing your language skills then being direct is better. Just ask the person “Does [example sentence] sound normal?” Or you could ask “Does that sound right? Is there a better way to say that?” Most people will be more than happy to correct any perceived mistakes, but it’s best to remember that English varies dramatically from place to place, so what sounds ‘natural’ in one place might sound strange in another!
