Action movies: 3 famous lines to say do not move
To ask someone gently not to move, say "Just hold still." To ask someone to stay in one place and not leave, say "You stay put." When you need someone to stop all movement right now, say "Don't move a muscle." The tone matters, so choose the line that fits the situation.

Explicación de cada frase
-
Just hold still. Tono: Gentle and caring
Use it when you are helping someone, for example taking a photo, cutting hair, or cleaning a small cut. It sounds kind, so it isn't strong enough for a real emergency.
“Just hold still.”
-
You stay put. Tono: Casual and friendly
Use it when you want someone to stay in this place and not leave, often while you go somewhere. It is about not leaving, not about keeping your body perfectly still.
“You stay put.”
-
Don't move a muscle. Tono: Bold and serious
Use it when even a tiny movement could cause a problem, like a bee on someone's arm. It sounds dramatic, so it can feel too strong for small, everyday situations.
“Don't move a muscle.”
-
Don't move. Tono: Direct and clear
This is the basic, neutral way to say it. It works in most situations, but the speaker's voice decides whether it sounds calm or urgent.
-
Keep still. Tono: Neutral and practical
Use it when someone keeps moving a little and you need them to stop for a moment. It's common with children and at the doctor's office.
-
Stay where you are. Tono: Calm but firm
Use it when someone should not come closer or walk away, for example if there is broken glass on the floor. It's clear and polite enough for strangers.
Errores frecuentes
-
No suena natural
Don't move your muscle.Mejor así Don't move a muscle.
The phrase is fixed. "A muscle" means even one small muscle, so it means not even a tiny movement.
-
No suena natural
Stay put still.Mejor así Stay put. / Hold still.
"Put" here already means in one place, so don't add "still." Use "stay put" for not leaving and "hold still" for not moving your body.
-
No suena natural
Hold on still, please.Mejor así Hold still, please.
"Hold on" means "wait." "Hold still" means "don't move." They are different phrases.
