Not sure what you mean? As in the teacher taking some object belonging to a student to keep during class as a 'punishment' e.g.? :)

For example in an exam, they have some notes, books, portables etcc.. on the table, and you want them to put them away ??????

Estoy de acuerdo con Empanada: "Put your stuff away".

O, bueno, "Clear your desks" (quitad las cosas de vuestras mesas).

Gracias majillos.

can you say " once you finish you can leave "? When they´re taking an exam ?

<once you finish or once you´re finished ????

hi RDB - it is correct to say "once you finish...", "once you're finished..."
or "once you have (you've) finished...".

Guardad las cosas = Put everything away / Put your things away.

When you have finished you can leave.

A guardar, a guardar
cada cosa en su lugar.
Sin romper, sin romper
que mañana hay que volver.

Sí! Me encanta la canción. :)

And ... in my classroom, I would never say "Put your stuff away." Although it may technically be correct, as the teacher, it is way tooooo casual to use the word "stuff". I would always say "Put your things away" or "Put everything away", etc.

I guess it depends on the class and which material is being taught or put away.. :D :p

Just kidding Lou Ann, you are right of course it is educationally more correct, sound and responsible to say 'things' instead of 'stuff'. :) :thumbsup:
