Dear Teachers,

1. Rusty! you just go downstairs first, I will go downstairs later.

2. Brian! you just go upstairs first, I will go upstairts right away / at once.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

1). Is correct English but most people would say, "Rusty, (you)go downstairs - I'll be down/ in a minute/shortly/ soon."

Similarly, 2). Brian, (you) go upstairs, I'll be up in a minute, etc..,
