A guest at the table, and manners on the phone, sentence 3

On the phone, safety comes first: you never tell a stranger you are home alone or give your address; you say your parent is busy and cannot come to the phone, and you tell your parent.

Who acts: safety, you, parent, your · What happens: come, not tell, be, give, say, not come · To what, where: phone, stranger, address, parent · Speech: someone speaks here
