11. Use of “let”

Using “let” in speaking involves giving permission, making suggestions, or allowing someone to do something. Here are some common ways to use “let” in speaking:

Giving Permission:
- “Let me help you with that.”
- “Can you let me borrow your pen?”
Making Suggestions:
- “Let’s go to the park.”
- “Why don’t we let Sarah decide?”
Allowing Someone to Do Something:
- “My mom lets me stay up late on weekends.”
- “The teacher lets us work in groups for this project.”
Expressing Prohibition (in negative form):
- “My parents won’t let me go to the party.”
- “The sign says ‘Do not enter,’ so let’s go the other way.”
Expressing a Request:
- “Let me know if you need any help.”
- “Let’s keep this between us, okay?”

In speaking, “let” is often followed by a base verb (infinitive form) without “to” (e.g., “let me know,” “let them play”). It’s essential to understand the context to use “let” appropriately in conversation.
