All right, in this grammar refresh, we'll take a look at a few ways we can use the word, let us know.
The first way you can see here is we can use the word let you talk about permission, right.
Or to give permission.
And when you use that, it's going to be followed by an object and.
An infinitive of the verb without you.
So you're just using the main form of the verb.
But let's look at our examples, the first one is my boss, let me take three days off in a row so we
can see here is let me give permission followed by our object.
Here is me and then the infinitive form without two of our verb.
So normally it's to take.
Right, but we take off the two and it's just take my boss.
Let me take three days off in a row.
Our other example.
Why don't they let us make updates.
So, again, we have let me in permission or to give permission or without OK, and then our object
is us and then our verb make.
So why don't they let us make update's?
Another way we can use let is.
You use it in this phrase, let us let us.
And if you say.
They together fast, it led us right, kind of like the food, lettuce, the vegetable, but it's let
us but.
You know, when you're speaking, you don't really say.
It very spread out, it's not let us let us take another more common way is to have it attracted into
let's.
You'll hear this more often.
Let's.
So when you have this, let us or let's it's a way that we can give a suggestion, a suggestion to do
something.
So in our example here, it's let's go over this report once again, and if it's not contracted, it
would be let us go over this report once again.
So this is kind of like a polite way to suggest that we should do this.
OK, but let's go over this report once again.
The next example is let's take a five minute break.
Let us take a five minute break.
And again, this is just a nice casual way to make some kind of gesture.
A.
You don't say it to a class or at work.
Let's take a five minute break or let us take a five minute break.
Similar we can use, let me.
As a.
Suggestion, but here it's.
Referring to just you are not the group of you and the other people, so in our example here, it's
let me call you back.
So that's just saying kind of like.
Or I'll call you back or let me help you with these files.
