So many doubts in one sentence :-((
Hi,
kindly check this sentence:
"We can install a rope between each pot. This rope should connect each pot and it is possible to hook it up and unhook it. We thought about this option in order to guarantee privacy and separate the meeting area from the outside of the stand"
Here my doubts are everywhere :-((
1. "To install" ?? a rope? or "to put" or "to position" ?
2. "to connect" is the right verb when I want to explain that two parts are joined or attached by the help of a rope?
3. "hoock up" and "unhook"are ok in this context?
4. "from the outside of the stand" does it make sense? I mean the aisle out of the stand´s area.
Thank you so much
Pamela

" You can't do something between one thing. " I see the pots as forming a sort of enclosure - circular, square, oblong, whatever. " I'm not having much luck picturing the aisle.
- " You can't do something between one thing.
- " I see the pots as forming a sort of enclosure - circular, square, oblong, whatever.
- " I'm not having much luck picturing the aisle.
- Is it part of the stand or not?
- I think "from the outside of the stand" is okay.

To my ear, everything is okay except the use of "between." You can't do something between one thing.
I would say, "We can install ropes between the pots."
OR "We can install a rope from each pot to the next."
They are obviously separate ropes if they can be "hooked up and unhooked." ("Hooked up" is good.)
"The ropes should connect to each of the pots."

Hi Avangi,
I´m surprised, since I thought that the most of the verbs used don´t make sense :-)) thank you for the reply!!!
By "aisle" I mean the corridor outside of the stand, this doesn´t belong to the customer, it is not a part of the stand.
Thank you once again.

The purpose of the pots and the ropes is to create a "meeting area" on the stand. So you can talk about "inside the meeting area" and "outside the meeting area," and both these designations refer to the stand. "Outside the stand" is another matter. The "aisle" would not enter into the discussion of the two areas on/within the stand (inside and outside the meeting area).
