10 Ways to warn people - Free English speaking lesson
In life there are times when we have to warn people about all sorts of things. We might need to warn someone to avoid taking too many risks, for e.g, if they are climbing up a ladder you might warn them to be safe. We often see formal notices around us that act as warnings about dangers or warnings to us telling not to do something.
I've categorized these expressions under the different scenarios that we could find ourselves in, take a look.
