« on: December 28, 2013, 03:08:52 am »
Would you tell me which is natural?

1  I don' know at all how he is doing now.
2  I don' completely know how he is doing now.

Thanks in advance.

I think both sentences are a little awkward, but #1 is better than #2. There are several ways you could express the same meaning in everyday speech:
I really don't know how he is doing now.
I have no idea (at all) how he is doing now.
I'm not sure how he is doing now.
