Question about English (US)
Do these sentence make sense?
Can you show me the person with whom you were playing?
If I had spoken English, I could have worked for another company.
I said that I do not now for which you are upset.
Thank you

- English (US)
1st: is grammatically correct and you will be understood but in common speech , Americans would say “…show me who you were playing with?“ - I know that it is technically grammatically incorrect to end a a sentence with “with”, but it’ll sound more natural
2nd: if you are trying to express a sense of regret that you didn’t speak English and therefore missed out on an opportunity to work, then “if only I had spoken English, …”would convey that nuance
3rd: “…do not know why you’re upset”

Thank you so much :) I think there is slightly off between the sentence is grammatically correct and the sentence when it sounds more natural.
Have a nice weekend!
