What is wrong with this sentence?
She asked me not to take off my wet clothes (clothing?) on (in?) the staircase to (and?) dry them.
Thank you
"Clothing" is the general term for anything you can wear, so in your sentence I would use "clothes" as it refers specifically to the clothes you were wearing.
She asked me not to take off my wet clothes on the staircase ....
I am a little confused by the end of your sentence. How does taking your clothes off on the staircase help to dry them? Did the person actually ask you two things:
1) Not to take off your wet clothes on the staircase; and
2) To dry them
If this is not clear, what I mean is, did "she" say:
1) Please don't take your wet clothes off on the staircase to dry them.
or
2) Please don't take your wet clothes off on the staircase, and please dry them.
