Question

"We had to say hi and if the school principal noticed any of us is not saying hi, he would scold us."

What about this sentence? I'm describing an environment in which every student had to say hello as soon as they entered the school.

" I'll answer this one here now, but in future please post new questions in a new thread, rather than on the end of an existing unrelated thread. Much of your sentence is OK. We had to say " hi ", and if the school principal noticed (that) any of us were not saying " hi " , he would scold us.
