This is correct. It might be more natural to say, “We’re going to have to deal with flooding.” Just put in the immediate future like that: “have to deal with…”

A tip on “floods” or “flooding”: “floods” would be serious, like something that affects a whole city. But “flooding” is something that can happen at a smaller scale like a street or a house. So if you see entire cities underwater, you can say they’re experiencing floods. But if a few houses on your street have water in the basement, you would say “flooding.”

Perfect example – I do that with flagged emails in Outlook. I never used it until recently. The vast majority of email I get is notifications and stuff, but if I get an email from a customer or something else that needs my reply, I flag it and deal with it the next time I’m available.

Yes. Instead of “worth a trust” you can say, “trustworthy.” In my opinion, the company is not trustworthy because it has a lot of negative reviews.

I get a ton of messages every day, so I use the pin feature to keep important ones at the top, making sure I don’t forget to reply. These are messages I don’t need to answer right away, but I’ll need to deal with eventually. Unfortunately, there’s a limit of 3 messages I can pin. I hope they fix this in a future update.

So I could say- In my opinion the company is not worth a trust because it has a lot of negative reviews.

“Deal with” is 100% perfect here. A few tips for you. An “opinion” is something a person holds about something else … so the person who has the belief has the opinion. In your case, the company doesn’t have negative opinions; other people have negative opinions about the company. So in this case, just use the word “reviews.” “I pre-booked it and then I found out that the company has a lot of negative reviews.”

I pre booked it and then I found out that the company has so many negative opinions. I have to cancel my booking and find another rental company. I will deal with this on Monday.
