After using the "Stop!" command, what command can I use to ask someone to continue moving? "Move on!" or "Keep moving!" or "Continue moving!" For example, a police officer giving a command to a traffic participant or in a competition or an adult speaking to a child. Thank you!

All three commands you listed can be effective, but they differ slightly in tone and context. Here's a breakdown to help you choose the most appropriate one: 1. "Move on!" - This command is commonly used to tell someone to continue or leave the current location. It can sound a bit more authoritative or firm, so it’s great for situations where someone is lingering. - Example: A police officer might say, "Move on!" to someone who is blocking a busy area. 2. "Keep moving!" - This phrase is often used to encourage someone to maintain their movement, especially if they’ve stopped or slowed down. It’s effective for both formal and informal contexts, like traffic control or a race. - Example: During a competition, an official might shout, "Keep moving!" to encourage participants to not stop. 3. "Continue moving!" - This is the most neutral and polite of the three. It’s clear and direct but lacks the abruptness of the other two phrases. It can be used in formal situations or when you want to sound more courteous. - Example: A parent might calmly say, "Continue moving," to a child who has stopped during a walk. Summary: - Police officer or competition: "Move on!" or "Keep moving!" - Gentle encouragement (e.g., to a child): "Continue moving!"

We usually say, "Go ahead," after the person stops and then it is safe for them to proceed after that. Sometimes, even though it is a little long, we say, "You can go now." It just depends on the circumstances.

Hi Kim. Move on is used when a person is somewhere they shouldn’t be. You can’t park here. Move on. Keep/continue moving is when a person is already moving and you’re telling them not to stop. You’re running the race well, you’re nearly at the end so keep moving. It’s very cold outside so it’s best to keep moving rather than stand still.

In situations where someone needs to resume moving, here are a few common and effective commands, depending on the tone and context: "Keep moving!" – This is direct and widely used by authority figures, such as police officers, to indicate continuous movement. It’s firm but neutral. "Move along!" – Commonly used by police or other officials, this command is slightly less forceful but still effective, especially to disperse a crowd or prevent lingering. "Continue moving!" – Polite and formal, this phrase might be used to guide people in a non-urgent situation, like during a tour or in customer service. "Let’s keep going!" – This is more casual and works well for situations involving children or in non-authoritative contexts, like coaching or encouraging someone during a sports event. Each of these phrases conveys the message to resume or continue movement without suggesting a strong urgency unless paired with a firmer tone.

Once you have told someone to stop you are not going to ask them to “keep” moving. They have stopped so they need to start moving.
