GRAMMAR

MAKING SUGGESTIONS:

a. We use “Let’s” when we want people do things with us.

Structure: Let’s + verb + complement

Example:
Let’s make a protest against pollution.
Let’s take photos of the baby rhino.

b. We use “Why don’t we?” to suggest to do something together. It means the same as “Let’s”.

Example: 

Why don’t we make a protest against pollution?
Why don’t we take photos of the baby rhino?

c. We use “Why don’t you’” to make friendly suggestions or to give advice.

Example: 

Why don’t you prepare something? I’m hungry.
Why don’t you come to the zoo? It’s free today.
