  3. From some such difficulty the newly named street died almost in birth, and the purchaser of the kitchen-garden, having paid a high price for it, and being quite unable to find any one willing to take his bargain off his hands without a considerable loss , yet still clinging to the belief that at some future day he should obtain a sum for it that would repay him, not only for his past outlay, but also the interest upon the capital locked up in his new acquisition, contented himself with letting the ground temporarily to some market-gardeners, at a yearly rental of 500 francs.
    
    The purchaser of the garden, who paid for it in full, did not manage to resell it for the desired amount, and in anticipation of a price increase, which sooner or later was to more than reward him for the money spent and the capital lying in vain, he limited himself to leasing the plot to gardeners for five hundred francs a year. Thus, he receives only half a percent for his money, which is very modest in modern times, when many receive fifty percent each and still find that money brings a beggarly income.

We use the word let when we talk about permission to do something. Sentences with this verb are very often used in colloquial speech.

For example:

“She let us play late. He let me take the day off. They allowed him to come with us. "

In this article, we will take a closer look at how to build all kinds of let clauses, and what nuances you should pay attention to.

In the article you will learn:

Affirmative sentences with let

The let verb translates to "allow / allow". We use it when someone gives permission to someone to do something.

For example:

She allowed me to come in.

In English, such sentences are easy to construct.

For this:

1. We put the main thing in the first place in our offer actor - the one who permits: I, she, he, they, we.

For example:

They ...
They are...

Important: If she, he comes first, then we add the ending -s: lets to the verb.

For example:

They let ...
They allow ...

She lets ...
She allows ...

3. After the action comes the person who is allowed to do something.

Notice how our pronouns change:

I - me
you - you
he - him
she - her
they - them
we - us

This is because here the pronoun is not the main character, but is an addition - the one at whom the action is directed.

For example:

They let me ...
They let me ...

She lets him ...
She lets him ...

4. We put the action that is allowed to be done.

The only peculiarity of such sentences is that we do not put the particle to in front of an action that is allowed to another person (although it is in the initial form).

For example:

They let me work.
They let me work.

She lets him come.
She lets him come.

The outline of such a proposal would be:

I		me
You	let	you
We		them	read
They		us	work
She		him	study
He	lets	her
It		it

For example:

They let him watch TV.
They let him watch TV.

She lets them use dictionary.
It allows them to use a dictionary.

Formation of affirmative sentences in the past tense (Past Simple)

In the past tense, the sentence is formed in the same way. Only we put let in the past tense - let (the past tense form is exactly the same as the present one) and we translate this verb as "allowed, allowed".

Offer schema:

Actor + let + whoever is allowed + an action

I		me
You		you
We		us	work
They	let	them	smoke
She		her	come
He		him
It		it

For example:

She let me come in.
She allowed me to enter.

They let him look at this document.
They let him look at this document.

Negative sentences with the verb let in English

We may say that we are not allowing the other person to do something. For this we use negative sentences.

The negation in such sentences is formed with the help of the auxiliary verb do and the negative particle not.

For she and he, we use the auxiliary verb does. Note that we no longer add the -s ending to the let verb.

Reduction:

Do + not = don’t
Does + not = doesn’t

Offer schema:

Actor + don "t / doesn" t + let + whoever is allowed + action

I			me
You			you
We	don "t		them	read
They		let	us	work
She			him	study
He	doesn "t		her
It			it

They don "t let us play.
They won't let us play.

She doesn’t let him smoke.
She won't let him smoke.

Formation of negative sentences in the past tense (Past Simple)

To say that someone was not allowed to do something, we use the auxiliary did and the negative not.

Reduction:

did + not = didn’t

Offer schema:

Actor + didn’t + let + whoever is allowed to act

I			me
You			you
We			us	work
They	didn "t	let	them	smoke
She			her	come
He			him
It			it

He didn’t let them go to the party.
He didn’t let them go to the party.

We didn’t let her buy it.
We didn't let her buy it.

Interrogative sentences with let in English

To ask a question, the auxiliary verbs do / does must be put first in the sentence.

Scheme of such a proposal:

Do / does + actor + let + whoever is allowed + action?

	I		me
	you		you
Do	we		us	read
	they	let	them	work
	she		her	study
Does	he		him
	it		it

Does he let you work?
Does he let you work?

Do you let them eat sweets.
Do you let them eat sweets?

Formation of interrogative sentences in the past tense

To ask if someone has been allowed to do something in the past, we use the auxiliary did.

Scheme of such a proposal:

Did + actor + let + whoever is allowed to + act?

There is a lot of confusion between the let verb and the let "s expression. Let's see how it is used.

Using let "s in English

Let’s is an abbreviation of the two words let and us. Typically, this abbreviation is used for commands (call to action) in the first person plural (ie "we").

The non-abbreviated form let us can also be used, but will sound very formal and only be used in formal / formal cases.

Let us come to the meeting.
Let us come to the meeting.

The abbreviation let’s is used in everyday life, it is a colloquial form.

Note that we usually translate let "s as" come on / let's "rather than" let us ".

Such proposals are structured according to the following scheme:

Let’s + action

For example:

Let’s go to the cinema.
Let's go to the movies.

Let’ s watch this film.
Let's watch this movie.

So we've covered how to give permission to someone using the let verb, now let's put that into practice.
