Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

[color=blue]1. So, I have no escape from it. ( I was talking about an issue I can’t avoid)

  1. I hope you didn’t take my remark to (the) heart, I was just kidding. (

  2. So, what days are you not in the next week?

Thanks,
MG

  1. OK.

  2. The usual expression is “take (something) to heart” (no “the”). Strictly speaking what you have written is a comma splice, but it is not a particularly egregious one.

  3. I would omit “the”.
