[i]
don’t start the work if you cannot finish it.
don’t get the work started if you cannot get it done.
[/i]
is any of these sentences good and natural English?
thanks.
.
Their grammar is fine, but the meaning of the second is a little off the intended, I think.
[i]Don’t start the work if you cannot finish it.
Don’t get started on the work if you cannot get it done.[/i]
.
How about “Don’t start the work if you cannot get it done.”, please?
My doubt is concerning the usage of “get started” and “get it done”.
Thanks

That’s fine, too.
