Hello,

Which sentence sounds more natural?

a) There were many things to prepare for the party.
b) I had to prepare many things for the party.
c) There were many things I had to do to prepare for the party.

Thanks,

Nawee

They all sound natural to me, nawee. Perhaps #3 sounds most colloquial. Or we might use get ready instead of prepare.
