TWO QUESTIONS
|
|
What would you say when you are in class and the sun bothers you: "Pull down the shutters, please!"? and the opposite? "Pull up the shutters/blinds"?
Another question: Write IN/ON your notebooks?
As you can see, I am worried about not making any mistakes when I speak to my students in class and there are always things which are not clear enough for me.
Thanks in advance for your help.

"Pull down the blinds" or "Close the blinds" (which is what I�d probably use)... and for opening them, I�d say "Open the blinds." or "Pull up the blinds".
And if they write "on" their notebooks, they are writing on the cover of the book. "In" their notebooks - is inside the book on the paper.
cheers,
Linda

a note to that: shutters are the (normally) wooden door-like things that can be closed to cover the outside of the window, blinds are usually found on the inside of the building. |
