Smile just sign this piece of paper.

If you want to participate in our club, just sign this piece of paper.
... just sign your name on this piece of paper.
... just sign on this piece of paper.



Do all of the above sound right? Thanks.

" ... just sign on this piece of paper." doesn't sound right to me, the others are ok.

The most natural phrase might be "just sign here", assuming it's obvious which piece of paper is meant.

Thanks, Jamie.

To make sure, does the following sound right?


If you want to participate in our club, just sign this piece of paper your name.

No.

If you would like to become a member of our club, please sign here.


You do not need both "sign" and "your name" - it is a given that if you sign something, you will be using your name and not anyone else's
