Hi,



Actually, all of your sentences are correct English sentences, and a native speaker would easily understand your meaning with any of them. 



However, the most “natural sounding” to me is #2. This is the type of sentence you would hear most native speakers using casually. 



I hope that helps!



Best,



Amy
