I need help with these office words/sentences

Even after using online dictionaries, I find it a little unclear what is the best way to say these sentences.  Note: I wrote in bold the words I specifically have a problem with.

  1. Can you please staple these?
  2. Can you tape this to the wall?
  3. Can you please glue this onto the form?

It has been easy for me to find the noun form of the words in bold, but the verb form is a different matter.

Thanks in advance.

Here's my opinion.

yes!ba is EXACTLY used here.

and ding shu ji the word doesn't necessarily needed here,it must be a "ding shu ji"which can be used to "ding" something,so the verb of ding is enough.

请把这些订(verb)起来,好吗?

or

可以把这些订(verb)起来吗?

“订书钉”is a noun,such as"给我一盒订书钉".

And "订书钉"is a kind of "钉子"just like"图钉"、”大头钉“,etc.

Please staple these together. 请把这个订在一起。

I staple the document together. 我把文件订在一起。

I tape this on the wall. 我用胶带把这个贴在墙上。

I glue this onto the paper. 我(用胶水)把这个粘(贴)在单子上。

I think these are 3“把”sentences.
