Going to/onto the fields

[Raf700]

I need your expertise.

What's smoother to say?
"they weren't allowed onto the fields",
"they weren't allowed to go to the fields",
"they couldn't go onto/to the field".

Context : farming, harvesting etc.

It's about the word "field/fields"

Would every option be correct? Would one be more likely to be used when in a conversation than the other?

Cheers

Hello there, and welcome to the forum.
Who does "they" refer to, and why were they not allowed?
Note also that you should capitalize the first letter at the start of a sentence and end every sentence with an appropriate punctuation mark.

To a speaker of colloquial English each has a different meaning.

1. Access to the fields was prohibited.
2. Travel to the fields was prohibited.
3. They were physically unable to enter / travel to the fields.

Context is always important. If I knew the context I could tell you which one to choose.
