| Mar 10, 2013 at 2:19 | comment | added | mcalex | @Jim I don't know that I'd expect that sentence from a native. 'Be careful and wear a coat', maybe. But that separates the care and the coat, so isn't in OP's scope. | |

| Mar 10, 2013 at 2:06 | comment | added | Jim | But "Be careful to wear a coat." does mean to make sure you wear one. | |
