Two sentences to check?

Question

1. The proverb feels embracing everything.
2. Jake, have you been doing great/well/fine?
Are the above two sentences acceptable? I am not a native speaker. Please check them, thanks. Btw, how do you describe the sentences said by native speakers? Real English? Genuine English? Or anything?

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure what sentence number one is trying to convey. It could be "the proverb feels like it embraces everything." Even if you said it that way, a native English speaker may still not understand you.

Number two is a bit more straightforward. The correct way to say that would be, "Jake, how have you been?" If you did say, 'Jake, have you been doing well?', an English-speaker would be able to understand you and respond, but it would be obvious that English is not your native language.

Native English speakers tend to speak the language informally, with slang and idioms.

Answer 2

1: feels and embracing are both verbs. which one do you mean?

2: all are ok, but well is the best choice

English as spoken by native speakers could be called "plain English." There is a difference between British English and American English, so it depends on where you are from.

Answer 3

#1 doesn't make any sense to me...Are you trying to say ' The proverb feels as if it embraces everything' or maybe ' the proverb embraces everything'?
#2 Jake, have you been doing well. ---is the correct one...anyone would understand what great or fine meant..but it sounds awkward and strange.

Answer 4

#1 isn't a complete sentence & it isn't understandable. Feels and embracing are both verbs when you should only use one. Do you mean, "The proverb embraces everything?" or do you mean, "The proverb feels as though it is embracing everything?"
