Museum rules
Last week our class visited the Sword Museum. Before we went in, a guide gave us rules. '(1) Show your ticket at the door,' she said. '(2) Don't take photos of the exhibits,' she said. 'It is not allowed.' We walked inside. There were many old swords. My friend Tom wanted to touch one. '(3) Don't touch the swords!' I said. '(4) Be careful,' the guide said to everyone. 'Some swords are very old.' We walked around quietly. '(5) Don't run or shout,' the guide reminded us. '(6) Put your bag in a locker,' she said at the end. We had a great time.
Explanation:
- 1. The sentence requires a verb in the base form to command an action: "Show your ticket."
- 2. The sentence is a negative command, so "Don't take" is appropriate.
- 3. The sentence is a negative command, so "Don't touch the swords!" is correct.
- 4. The sentence requires an adjective or verb to describe the state of being careful: "Be careful."
- 5. The sentence is a negative command, so "Don't run or shout" is the correct form.
- 6. The sentence requires a verb in the base form to issue a command: "Put your bag in a locker."
