When someone says a sentence "sounds unnatural," it doesn't necessarily mean it's plain and simple wrong. Instead, it typically means:
- The sentence is grammatically correct, but the wording, phrasing, or structure doesn’t sound like how a native speaker would naturally say it.
- It might feel awkward, overly formal, too literal, or influenced by another language’s structure.
Tip: "Unnatural" sentences can usually be improved by adjusting word order, idiomatic expressions, or tone to match common usage in the language.
