quick english

KieuVanQuan

I want to say this in a sophisticated, polite and formal way: 

"You can die easily because [reasons]."

 

Here's what I think is...good?

 

"You're subject to dying easily due to ...."

"You may be subject to dying easily unless you ...."

"You may be subject to getting killed easily as you haven't done this or that [yet]"

 

Are any of these three sentences grammatically correct? And more importantly do they even make sense? If they are correct and make sense, which one of them do you think is the best?

 

(Yes, my English is crap but at least I'm trying)

He’s trying to sound sophisticated, not like a disclaimer pamphlet xD 

 

OP: just try not to sound like an ass, what context is this in?

That's an F in the profile pic

when you use the word "to", the next word must be root word
1) to dying -> to die
3) to getting -> to get

"You may be subject to die easily unless you ...."

this is the one i would choose though

You're wrong about that. You need to use gerund or a noun after "subject to". It's similar to "looking forward to".

It would help to know the context - why are you trying to say this?

'subject to dying' doesn't sound right.

 

You're (highly) likely to be killed because/unless you... 

 

Yeah, knowing the context would be great. He could be threatening someone and we end up being accessories. O.o
