 |
|
Dear Teachers,
1. If you dare take liberties with me again, I'll slap you at once.
2. ........................................................., you'll get many slaps from me immediately.
- Are these natural to say?
Thanks so much!

It's fine, but you don't need the "at once". It is understood and unnecessary. |

Probably more natural: "You touch me again and I'll slap you silly / I'll slap the s h i t out of you." Crude but effective.
