Get in there more

Hi teachers,

I don't know how to say this right. If you ask someone to get in a dark room, the person might pause at the door. And you ask them to get in there, and they might take a few steps forward. If the person is walking away from you into the room, what are the usual ways to say?

Thanks

Please go in the room. I know it's dark, but your eyes will adjust in a few minutes.

Hi AlpheccaStars,

It's a surprise present for another person to discover. He gets into the room but stops in his tracks. And you ask him to go on. Can the following phrases natural?

1. Get in some more.
2. Move in some more.
3. Take a few more steps forward.
4. Go down there a little.

Thanks

These all sound overly specific. I think you had it right in the question:

Go ahead.
Go on.
Go on in.

1. Get in some more. (No, I feel this is climbing in a box.)
2. Move in some more. (No.)
3. Take a few more steps forward. (OK)
4. Go down there a little. (OK, if they are going down some steps or a slant.)

Keep on going.
Go a little further.
I'm right behind you.
Another few steps.

Keep on going, already suggested above, sounds about right to my ear.

Hi AlpheccaStars, hi CalifJim, hi Sijay,

Thanks for your help.

Another situation is: If a kid is in a shower stall and you are about to turn on the shower to give her a shower, but you realize she's standing very close to the shower door and think water might splash out of the shower stall and sprayed everywhere. Do you say 'can you move in a little further'? (Can you help me

tinanam0102Do you say 'can you move in a little further'?
Yes, and in this case that phrasing makes even more sense because you have a very specific place you want the person to be.

In the example of the dark room, you just want to encourage the person to not stop moving: "Go ahead."
