LETS Meaning and
Definition
-
Lets is a contraction of the word "let us". It is primarily used as a first-person plural imperative, meaning it is a command or request addressed to a group that includes the speaker and the listener. The term indicates that the speaker is proposing or suggesting something for joint action or consideration.
The verb "let" in this context means to allow or permit something to happen. When combined with the pronoun "us", "let us" is used to ask or grant permission, give consent, or propose an action that involves oneself and others. The contraction "lets" simplifies this phrase, making it more convenient and concise in everyday language.
For example, if a person says, "Lets go for a walk," they are suggesting that both themselves and the person they are speaking with should go for a walk together. It not only expresses their desire but also implies that they want the other person to join them.
