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 :wink:

She told me to leave at 5 o'clock
Let's divide it :wink:
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. :wink:

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 :wink: :
No, entry signs were put near the main gate.

Who has another ambiguous sentence? :mrgreen:

Mohammed,

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)

Mohammed,
I agree with Lina also :wink: 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 :wink: *1

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