Let's solve each part of this worksheet step by step and explain the solutions.

We are given 8 signs with prohibitions (no phone, no noise, etc.) and word fragments. We need to form correct negative imperative sentences using "Don't...".
#### Rules for Imperative Sentences:
- The imperative is used to give commands, instructions, or advice.
- For negative imperatives: use "Don't + verb".
- The verb must be in its base form (infinitive without "to").
Now let’s go through each one:
---

Words: *talk / on / not / the phone*
→ Rearranged: Don't talk on the phone.
✔ This matches the "no phone" sign.
2)
Words: *not / noise / make*
→ Rearranged: Don't make noise.
✔ Matches the "NOISE" sign.
3)
Words: *the dog / walk / not*
→ Rearranged: Don't walk the dog.
✔ Matches the "no dogs" sign.
4)
Words: *not / smoke*
→ Rearranged: Don't smoke.
✔ Matches the "no smoking" sign.

We have three images showing situations where advice is needed. We need to write positive imperative sentences (giving helpful advice).
---
1) A messy room — clothes, books, toys everywhere.
→ Advice: Clean up the room!
✔ Clean up your room.
(Or: Tidy up your room.)
2) A person thinking about clothes (a thought bubble with summer clothes).
→ Likely it's a cold day, but they’re thinking about warm weather clothes.
→ Advice: Wear warm clothes.
✔ Wear warm clothes.
(Or: Put on a jacket.)
3) A man sleeping at his computer desk — tired from work.
→ Advice: Take a break.
✔ Take a break.
(Or: Go for a walk. / Have some coffee.)

We need to use either:
- "Let me..." → I will do something for someone (offering help).
- "Let's..." → Suggesting doing something together.
---
1) A young man helping an old woman carry bags. She says: *"Thank you!"*
→ He must have offered help earlier.
So he would say: Let me help you.
✔ Let me help you.
2) A boy holding two books, smiling, and two kids saying "Yeah!" and "Great!"
→ He is suggesting a fun idea.
→ Let's read these books! or Let's study together!
But since he has books and they're excited, likely:
✔ Let's read! or Let's study!
Best fit: Let's read these books!
Alternatively: Let's learn! — but "read" fits better with books.
✔ Let's read!
---
✔ Final Answers for Section 3:
| 1) | Let me help you. |
