Please help me with the following sentence

- Not to do Something that you would repent tomorrow. 

What meaning does the above sentence have, please? Is that some sort of advice? 
  

Top answer

It is not a complete sentence. Whether it is advice or not depends on the verb that preceded it: I advised you/warned you/told you not to do s omething you would regret tomorrow.

5jj's solution is better, but this is also possible:

Don't do something which you would repent tomorrow.

Married in haste, we repent at leisure."

Thanks teacher. How about Why to do something today which you will repent tomorrow? And please tell what's wrong with the verb 'repent?

Thanks again!

Why to do something today which you will repent tomorrow?

If you change the infinitive to a verb, you will have a sentence.
