@branduhn All sounds natural except for number 3. The “due to that” sounds formal if you want your words to lean towards casual.

@witchannacommissions Thanks. When I posted this question, I figured #4 sounds unnatural. So it actually sounds natural?

@witchannacommissions Ok. Can you look over this paragraph, please? Feel free to correct it if it’s incorrect or unnatural.
“We often say these two expressions when we are not sure if we can do something as well as the other person wants us to. If we’re pretty sure we can do something well, we probably say other things to sound more confident and powerful.”

It's pretty good! I think the idea is not elaborated that clearly in this part “as well as the other person wants us to”.
