Ambiguous Sentences .. Try and add yours

[Lina]

 
Raghad,  
I'll try
1-she told me that both of us would leave at 5.
2- she told me that I would leave at 5.

tell me if it is right so I can add mine

[Raghad]

 
Lina,  
Actually I think there are more 2 interpretations for each sentence .. I think your interpretations are right but let me write mine because I think they are  more specific  

She told me to leave at 5 o'clock
Let's divide it  
1- She told me (to leave at 5 o'clock)  : I had to leave at 5 o'clock.
2- She told me to leave (at 5 o'clock)   :  At 5 o'clock she told me that.  

As for Wissamo's sentence I thought also of another interpretation  that is :
No entry. Signs were put near the main gate.
But I think Abeer's is more specific   :
No, entry signs were put near the main gate.

Who has another ambiguous sentence?  

[Mohammed]

 
nice topic

consider this one

Fine for parking here

[Lina]

 
Mohammed,  
   
let me think.....

tricky ...

1- you are allowed to park here so it's fine
2- you will pay forfeiture if you park here( you are not allowed to park)
is that right???

[Raghad]

 
Mohammed,  
I agree with Lina also   Actually, at first I thought that the ambiguity is in the word "park" but then I analysed it and found that Lina's answer is true
So, please tell us in order to move to another sentence    

[Mohammed]

Lina,  
that's right  

Raghad,  

[Wissam]

 
Well, allow me to put the next sentence
The professor's appointment was shocking

[Raghad]

 
Wissamo,  
mmmm    OK let me try  

The professor's appointment was shocking

1- People were shocked when the professor was appointed in that place or position  (may be he doesn't deserve that)
2-   The appointment of this professor to a specific person was shocking

[Wissam]

Raghad,
