Let-he बनाम I-know: क्या अंतर है?
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use object pronouns (him/her/them) after 'let', but subject pronouns (he/she/they) when they are the main subject of a verb like 'know'.
- Always use 'him', 'her', or 'them' after 'let' (e.g., 'Let him speak').
- Use 'he', 'she', or 'they' before 'know' (e.g., 'He knows the answer').
- Never say 'Let he' or 'Him knows' in standard modern English.
Overview
let का सही इस्तेमाल और इसके बाद आने वाले प्रोनाउंस (pronouns) का चुनाव। आप में से कई लोग अक्सर 'Let he go' या 'Let I do it' जैसे वाक्य बोल देते होंगे, जो सुनने में शायद ठीक लगें, लेकिन ग्रामर के हिसाब से ये गलत हैं।let एक 'ट्रांजिटिव वर्ब' (transitive verb) है, जिसका मतलब है कि इसके बाद हमेशा एक 'ऑब्जेक्ट' आना चाहिए। हिंदी में हम कारक (case) के लिए 'को' या 'से' का प्रयोग करते हैं, जैसे 'राम को जाने दो', लेकिन इंग्लिश में प्रोनाउन का रूप ही बदल जाता है। 'He' का 'Him' और 'I' का 'Me' हो जाता है। अगर आप 'Let he' बोलते हैं, तो आप एक सब्जेक्ट को ऑब्जेक्ट की जगह बिठा रहे हैं, जो इंग्लिश में बिल्कुल गलत माना जाता है। यह समझना B1 लेवल पर बहुत जरूरी है ताकि आप अपनी बातचीत में 'नेचुरल' साउंड कर सकें।let का उपयोग करते हैं, तो हम किसी को कुछ करने की 'अनुमति' (permission) दे रहे होते हैं। let के तुरंत बाद जो व्यक्ति या वस्तु आती है, वह 'अनुमति पाने वाला' (receiver) होता है। ग्रामर की भाषा में इसे 'डायरेक्ट ऑब्जेक्ट' कहते हैं। जैसे हिंदी में 'उसे' (him) आने दो। 'उसे' यहाँ कर्म (object) है। इसलिए इंग्लिश में 'Let him' सही है, 'Let he' गलत।let के बाद आने वाली मुख्य क्रिया (main verb) हमेशा अपनी 'बेस फॉर्म' (base form) में होती है। इसमें कभी भी to नहीं लगता। जैसे: 'Let me to go' कहना गलत है, सही होगा 'Let me go'। हिंदी में हम 'जाने दो' कहते हैं, यहाँ 'जाने' के लिए 'go' का इस्तेमाल होता है, न कि 'to go' का। यह स्ट्रक्चर 'कॉजेटिव वर्ब' (causative verb) के अंतर्गत आता है, जहाँ आप किसी और को काम करने के लिए प्रेरित या अनुमति देते हैं।let का प्रयोग हम रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी में बहुत करते हैं।- 1अनुमति देने के लिए: 'My boss lets me leave early' (मेरे बॉस मुझे जल्दी जाने देते हैं)। यहाँ अनुमति दी जा रही है।
- 2सुझाव देने के लिए (Let's): जब हम 'Let us' को छोटा करते हैं, तो वह 'Let's' बन जाता है। जैसे: 'Let's go for chai' (चलो चाय पीने चलते हैं)। यह बहुत ही कॉमन है।
- 3अनुरोध के लिए: 'Let me see' (मुझे देखने दो)। जब आप किसी को कुछ समझाने के लिए या मदद के लिए परमिशन मांगते हैं।
- 4किसी स्थिति को अनुमति देना: 'Don't let the fire go out' (आग को बुझने मत दो)। यहाँ आप किसी स्थिति को बने रहने या बदलने की अनुमति दे रहे हैं।
- 1सब्जेक्ट प्रोनाउन का गलत उपयोग: 'Let he go' बोलना। हिंदी में हम 'वह' (he) का उपयोग करते हैं, इसलिए दिमाग 'he' को ही चुनता है। याद रखें, 'let' के बाद हमेशा ऑब्जेक्ट (him) आएगा।
- 2'to' का अनावश्यक प्रयोग: 'Let me to eat' बोलना। हिंदी में 'खाने दो' में 'ने' का प्रभाव होता है, इसलिए छात्र 'to' लगा देते हैं। याद रखें,
letके बाद 'to' कभी नहीं आता। - 3ऑब्जेक्ट प्रोनाउन की पहचान में कमी: 'Let I do it' कहना। हिंदी में 'मैं' (I) का ही रूप 'मुझे' होता है, लेकिन इंग्लिश में शब्द ही बदल जाता है। 'I' का 'me' करना न भूलें।
let की तुलना अक्सर allow से की जाती है।let के साथ 'to' कभी नहीं आता, जबकि allow के साथ हमेशा 'to' आता है।- 1क्या 'Let's' के बाद 'to' लग सकता है?
- 1क्या 'let' का पास्ट टेंस 'letted' होता है?
- 1क्या 'let' का इस्तेमाल सिर्फ इंसानों के लिए होता है?

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
'Let's' is a contraction of `Let us`. In modern English, we use the contraction for suggestions and the full form only for very formal permission.
This is a famous biblical quote. While it uses `he` (subject), it is considered archaic. In modern conversation, you should always use `him`.
It can be both! Context matters. If a boss says it, it's a command. If a friend says it about a bad boyfriend, it's a suggestion.
`Let him` is followed by a base verb (`Let him go`). `Allow him` is followed by 'to' (`Allow him to go`).
This is actually grammatically incorrect (it should be 'you and me'), but it is a common mistake even among native speakers.
Yes, if it is the main verb of the clause. For example, `He knows` or `They know`.
Yes! You can say `Let the water boil` or `Let it be`.
It is neutral. It's perfectly fine for both business emails and texting friends.
