The first sentence in this signage has an error in the usage of linking verbs. It must be written in these ways:
* Unauthorized person is not allowed inside.
* Unauthorized people are not allowed inside.
Always remember to put a punctuation mark after the sentence.
The second sentence sounds awkward to hear; moreover, it should be rephrased.
* Always keep the door closed!
Avoid using the exclamation marks so much.
This is a good example of how others neglect their basic knowledge of English. Some people do not mind the rules and grammar restrictions of English. What they are concerned with is on how they could be able to express their ideas.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jaymico. There are numerous signage that commit errors. We should be careful and be mindful about grammatical rules in making signage because it is really important.
ReplyDeleteWe must apply and practice the basic rules in English. A good example is texting.
ReplyDeleteJaymico is right. Basic rules in English are often neglected today.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should practice the basic rules in English when doing things in our daily life, like texting.
ReplyDelete"Unauthorized person is not allowed inside."
ReplyDeleteI think one should put the article "an" at the beginning of the sentence.
Everything starts from the basic. We need to master them before advancing to the next level.
