Please cover the pen with the lid before you put it in your pocket,otherwise the ink may spread into your cloth.

Please don't let your pen uncovered with lid when you keep in the book, otherwise ink will spread in the book.

Please correct my sentences.

Hi,
I'm used to calling the lid the "cap." A lid goes on a pot or on a manhole. It fits, but not tightly. It doesn't snap or ***** on, as a cap often does.

I'd say, "the ink may leak, and stain the fabric."

Please don't leave the pen uncapped. Otherwise it might leak when you try to use it. Otherwise it may leak and ruin your book.

Best wishes, A.

Hi guys,
'The cap' is fine, but I almost always hear and say 'the top'.

Thank you Doll and Clive.

If it is "top", how to say my sentence?

Here is my try :

Please don't leave your pen top be opened in the pocket. It may damage your cloth.
Please don't leave your pen without top. It may damage your cloth.

Am I correct?

Hi,

Please don't leave your pen top be opened in the pocket. It may damage your cloth.
Please don't leave your pen without top. It may damage your cloth.

No. Say something like this.

Please don't leave the top off your pen in your pocket. It may damage your clothes.
Please don't leave your pen in your pocket without the top. It may damage your clothes.
