Put your cup in a little bit

what is the correct way to say this/ sound more natural

"Don't put your cup on the edge of table, someone might knock it off."

"Put it (the cup) in / more deeper please"


Please help to correct it. I am confused.

Thank you.

" This is a comma splice, albeit a benign one. my englishhhh "Put it (the cup) in / more deeper please" "more deeper" is wrong. "more + comparative" is always wrong.

  • " This is a comma splice, albeit a benign one.
  • my englishhhh "Put it (the cup) in / more deeper please" "more deeper" is wrong.
  • "more + comparative" is always wrong.
  • Just say "deeper".
  • However, "Put it in deeper" is quite hard to understand in that context.
