About the use of "watch."
About the use of "watch."
I found this sample sentence in the dictionary:
"Watch that your robe doesn't catch fire."
The Japanese translation says that "Take care so that your robe won't catch fire."
I'm wondering whether the Japanese translation is correct.
First, when I read that sentence I understand that the robe is fire resistance so it won't catch fire.
Am I wrong understanding that way?
And one more question, "doesn't" can be used in the imperative sentence?
Could you help me understand that sentence, please?
