Hello John,

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me some advice of what is the suitable word instead of "pack"?

Can you write me the correct sentence?

Thank you!

Sure - but you'll need to tell me what you want the people in the room to do to it before they go to sleep.

MalRey's examples are excellent.

I have also heard British speakers say:

Would you please tidy up the living room before going to bed?
