Are the following sentences correct?

Get it up, your bag on the street.

Don't take it up, the box is over weight.
 
No, they aren't.
What are you trying to say?
 
Perhaps:

Pick up your bag.

Or:

Get your bag out of the street.

And:

Don't try to pick it up. That box is too heavy.

Is that close, Polyester?
 
i hear both are correct. Pleas\e correct me?
 
No, they are not. Are you paying attention to my suggestions?
 
I hear both are correct. Please tell me if they are not correct. [STRIKE]me?[/STRIKE]

What do you mean by the first sentence? If you mean that you think the first two responses suggested that you were correct, you're wrong. If you mean that you heard from someone else that they're correct, that person was wrong.
 
What's the context?
 
I am on the verge of putting you on "Ignore" Polyester.

If you mean putting me on "ignore" list, please go head. Thank you your attention.
I also see probus and Rover_KE like your action, please go head. Don't consider any moment.
 
If you mean putting me on your "ignore" list, please go ahead. Thank you for your attention.
I also see probus and Rover_KE like your action, so please go ahead. Don't hesitate.

I don't mean to say that I want to do that, but I get frustrated when you don't pay attention.

Polyester, we're here to help you, and not to ignore you.
Please tell us what you're trying to say. There are people who are willing to help you but confused about your words. Tarheel is one of them.

I hear people said that. I want to make sure is it correct?
 
I hear people said that. I want to make sure [STRIKE]is it[/STRIKE] it is correct.

I think you mean "I have heard people say that". If they said those sentences, they did not use grammatically correct English.

If you start with "I want to make sure", you are not asking a question.
 
Are the following sentences correct?

Get it up, your bag on the street.

Don't take it up, the box is over weight.

For the above-mentioned sentences. I have heard people say that I want to make sure are they correct or no meaning. I'm not sure about these sentences.

You have not heard native speakers say those sentences. They are incorrect and unnatural.

There are two sentences there. One is long and makes no sense. The other is short and makes sense. You do better when you keep your sentences short.

Please reread post #3.

I try to do it again, but it has been failed. No idea to improve that.

Is that close, Polyester?

Here it is.

Polyester, it is becoming almost impossible to answer your questions. Every post contains sentences that we don't understand and that don't make it clear what you are trying to say.

I don't even know what the "it" refers to in the post above.

You must go back to all the basics of English. I'm not sure that you even understand how to construct a short sentence in the present simple, yet you are trying to use more complicated structures. You are simply not ready to write complicated English.
