Welcome to our weekly challenge!
Can you fix the English?
This week’s English is from a sign in a restaurant.
Activity: Does this English need fixing?
If yes, can you fix the English?
Write in the comments what you think would be the correct English for this sentence.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
-
If you see an English sign in your city or town, take a photo of it and email it to me. Maybe your sign will have good English, but maybe not! That is part of the fun!
You don’t need a special camera. Use your mobile phone!
-
All pictures sent to me will be put up on this site (one each Friday). Then we can challenge each other to FIX THIS ENGLISH!
EMAIL ALL PICTURES TO: admin[at]askjohnenglish.com
TIP: [at] = @
Send me some English from where you live soon!
Hi John,
I Think that the bottom sentence is wrong and the right sentence is:
“We are not responsible for any theft”
Hi John
I think the right sign could be:
PLEASE TAKE CARE YOUR BELONGINGS
TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIEVES
WE HAVE NOT RESPOSABILITIES FOR GOODS STOLEN
Hi Roberta
Thank you for your answer! Here is some feedback:
PLEASE TAKE CARE of YOUR BELONGINGS
TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIEVES
