Take care to behave correctly Explanation: Not sure about "behave correctly"; there may be a better way of putting it. Perhaps you could add "at all times", or something like that. My idea here is: (a) Ideally you want a verb, because the others will presumably be verbs. It says these are things you have to do, so you will probably say "Smile", "Assist" (?), "Respond" for the other three. Of course, if it suits you, you can rejig it and use nouns, but it would be neater to use one or the other for all four terms. (b) Getting the T by saying "To do something" is a bit unsatisfactory, because it'll be obvious that you've only added "To" here for the sake of the T; otherwise, you would have put "To smile", To respond", and so on. All the possibilities that occur to me are a bit forced, but then "Tener" is a little bit forced in the Spanish too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2012-08-02 10:15:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Impeccably" was my first thought! I'm not sure why I didn't put it; it's actually pretty suitable, I think. |
