My dear and respected teachers,

1: "If this PC gets off once It will not get on again." correct?

2: "I want users to read it before they enter into my website." correct?

3: "It is an English word which means 'sincere'." correct?

Hi,
I think "turns off once more" and "turn on" are right,and a comma between 2 sentences is needed.
"Enter" doesn't need any prepositions,so "enter my website" is correct.
The third setence is correct.
Best wishes,

"If this computer shuts off once it will not turn on again."

"If this computer shuts down once it will not turn back on ."

"If this computer turns off once it will not turn on again."

"If this computer turns off once it will not turn back on ."

Be careful with "get off", because it's a slang expression for having an orgasm. We don't say that electronic devices "get off" or "get on".

"I want users to read it before they access my website."

Correct, but I would prefer, "It is an English word that means 'sincere'." "Which" is usually too formal to use in a restrictive adjective clause.
