Does this make any sense?
I broke it up so it would cause less confusion (for me.  )
Am I close? |
There's actually a
huge Q&A thread.
I'm not sure what you wanted to say. By "...でも", did you want to put something infront of the でも? Or did you want to use でも as a connector "but"?
You cannot ever combine the nice です and the strong negative command 教えるな. It sounds very strange at least to the native ear.
Though I'm not clear on the dot part of the 「...でも」, the following sentences are all correct and natural.
ひみつだからだれにも教えないで。
ひみつです。だからだれにも教えないでください。
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
masculine, colloquial versions:
ひみつだ。だれにも教えるな。
ひみつだからだれにも教えるな。
