English expressions 1

I am trying talking with my son in English, and I have some expressions that I often use but I'm not sure if they are often used in real life in the English world.

1. Be careful, а car is coming. (we would add "a" here because there is always an article before a noun in English. :)
I say this sentence when I cross roads or walk in parking lots with my son.

(This sounds perfectly fine to say this, a native speaker would say it.)

2. Don't hit him.
I say this words when my son hit someone. Is smack preferable?

(You could say smack, but that sounds more...I don't know...colloquial. Not as polite. I think "hit" sounds better.)

3. Return it.
I say this these words when my son takes candies or things like that to me in a store.

("Put it back" is what I would tell my child as a native speaker. "Return it" is correct, but it sounds a little stiff and formal.)

4. Look forward
I say this these words when my son rides his bike and see looks somewhere carelessly. Is 'Look ahead' preferable or is there any common expressions?

(If I was saying this to my child, I would say "Watch where you're going!" "Look ahead" or "look forward" are both perfectly grammatically correct, but don't sound like informal speech from a parent to a child.)


Though I have more questionable expressions, that's it today.
I'm really welcome to your comments, advice, and corrections.

Thank you.

I am trying to talk with my son in English, and I have some expressions that I often use, but I'm not sure if they are used in real life, in the English speaking parts of the world.

1. Be careful, a car is coming. ほしい～
I say this sentence when I cross roads or walk in parking lots with my son.　走っている車が近くにあるときでいいです。　Crossing roadsの時に「Watch for cars. 」でParking lotの時に普通に「Be careful.」 でいいと思います。

2. Don't hit him.
I say this words when my son hit someone. Is smack preferable?　いいえ。　それでいいです。　「It's bad to hit him/her.」は説明を含めて、もっと詳しいだと思います。

3. Return it.
I say this words when my son takes candies or things like that to me in a store.　パーフェクトです。

4. Look forward
I say this words when my son rides bike and looks around carelessly. Is 'Look ahead' preferable or is there any common expressions? どっちでも使えます。


Though I have more questionable expressions, that's it today. questionable 形容詞で使うと、suspiciousと同じ意味になります。
