Any syntax problem with this?

Are we going to have more change on 'PARK FILE' and then altogether we'll apply all of the changes including the recent ones? I'm confirming just.

There are problems.  I'm missing the meaning of some of it.

Are we going to have any more changes on the Park file?

If so, then let's apply all the changes, including the recent ones.  (???)

I'm just confirming.

Hi,

Any syntax problem with this? Yes. You can say either 'change' or 'changes' here, although the plural would be more common. However, here are a number of other edits to your sentences.

Are we going to have more change on 'PARK FILE' and then altogether we'll apply all of the changes including the recent ones? I'm confirming just.

Are we going to have (any) more changes to the Park file? if so, then will we apply all of the changes together, including the recent ones? I just want to confirm this.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi HuaMin Chen,

I wouldn't call them problems in syntax, but the sentences don't read well to the native ear.  The sequence may be a bit confusing.

I'd sugest:

I'd like to confirm the following strategy re the "PARK FILE" update. As there are currently several changes to be made, we'll hold these until we're sure all changes have been submitted.  Please advise ASAP if you have any to add, and we will then make the update.
