Question
Hi, everyone
Could you help me with some questions?
1) What's the difference between "I can't make Monday, but I can make Sunday"" "I can't make it Monday, but I can make it Sunday" and "I can't do Monday, but I can do Sunday"?
2) In this sentence "Downtown would be better for me. So if you can swing it, let's meet there.", could I replace "swing it" with "do it"? "If you can do Downtown, let's meet there"?
3) Does it sound odd to say "at&t does phone, TV and Internet"? ... And what's a bundle when you are talking about cable TV providers, etc?
Please!!
Thank you a lot

I would add, to what Henry is saying, that "swing it" in Question 2 and "does phone, internet, and cable" in Question 3 would both fly in the U.S. They're very informal ways of speaking, but very normal and common here. It's interesting to know that they're not common elsewhere.

Question 1. They are all the same meaning.
Question 2. Yes you can replace it with 'do' and I would advise it. I have never heard the term 'swing it.'
Question 3. Yes 'does' sounds a little weird. Perhaps 'provides' would be better. Also a bundle is more than one thing that is generally cheaper than buying them individually. For example a media bundle might include TV, Internet and phone which would be cheaper then getting them all individually.
