Are these sentences natural? November 21 #1 (permalink) Mon Nov 21, 2011 15:40 pm   Are these sentences natural? November 21
 

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. They knew that those business were not going to work and they would be able to buy them back on the cheap.

2. I will let you know once he calls me back / has called me back.

3. Did you get this cup made for you? (I was asking a person about the custom cup they had in their hand)


Thanks,
MG.

All OK except #1 should be "businesses".
