1: I couldn't find the FB profile for your older brother, John. It's not a question.
2: Tom, you need to look after all the other kids because you are the oldest one.

I have tried to deduce what you mean.

Sentences 1 and 3 are not questions. If they ended with periods ("full stops" in BrE), they'd be OK.

Replace "look over" with watch and sentence 2 will be OK. You could remove one without changing the meaning.

They're both OK in BrE.

There's nothing to correct. Use oldest in number 2.

In post #5 I was told not to use "that" in the following sentence.
Could you please tell me that which one is more natural?

In the past I was always using "that" in such constructions. Could you please guide me how I could avoid this mistake of using "that" in such sentences? Thank you.

Jackson6612, is your profile information correct?

I never checked my profile. I made this account years ago. Is there something wrong with it? I see that it needs few updates.

 

[teechar]

I see that it needs a few updates.

Then update it please.

 

[jackson6612]

Then update it please.

Just did it.

Hi,

Could you please help me to correct the sentence below? Thank you.

I think that you should take him (dog) into/in the sun so he gets dried quickly and gets some warm.

Please start a new thread for this unrelated question (incorporating 'dog' into the text rather than putting it in parentheses/brackets).
