Dress or wear?
|
Hello there,
I �m marking tests and I was wondering:
You should dress appropriately
or
You should wear appropriately?
Are both acceptable or wear must be followed by an object (for ex. You should wear decent clothes")?
Thanks a lot,
Chiara |

Customer,
I think I �d go for the first one for the reasons you mentioned.
Warm Regards |

Dress.
"You should wear appropriately" doesn �t make any sense. |

You should dress appropriately. You dress yourself. You wear clothes. |

The first one is correct - the second one can only be used if you write Wear appropriate clothing or dress appropriately.
