Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'Let's' followed by a base verb to suggest an activity for you and someone else to do together.

  • Use 'Let's' + base verb for affirmative suggestions: 'Let's dance!'
  • Use 'Let's not' + base verb for negative suggestions: 'Let's not wait.'
  • Never use 'to' or '-ing' after 'Let's': 'Let's go' (not 'Let's to go').
Let's + 🏃‍♂️ (Base Verb) + ! / .

Overview

ピザにするかタコスにするか、誰も決められないグループチャットに巻き込まれたこと、ある？そこでヒーローになりたい。行動を起こしたい。そんなときこそ let's の出番だ。これは英語における究極の「社会的潤滑油」なんだ。退屈な 'I want'（私が〜したい）を、ワクワクする 'we do'（私たちが〜する）に変えてくれる。仲間外れにしないし、フレンドリーで、信じられないほど簡単に使える。友達にNetflixの一気見についてメールするときも、Zoom休憩中にコーヒーを買いに行こうと提案するときも、このルールは君の親友になるはずだ。

How This Grammar Works

本質的に、let's は短縮形だ。動詞の let と目的格代名詞の us を組み合わせたものなんだ。でも、現代英語では、ハイファンタジー小説の登場人物か、大聖堂の司祭でもない限り、let us なんて言うことはまずない。日常生活では、常に let's だ。
基本的には、「これを一緒にやりましょうと提案しています」と言っていることになる。気分を上げてくれる言葉だね。「You must go（行きなさい）」や「I will go（私が行く）」よりもずっと響きがいい。共有体験を生み出してくれるんだ。文法の「マルチプレイヤーモード」と考えてみて。誰かを自分の計画に招待しているんだよ。もし相手が同意すれば、二人は同じチームになるわけだ。

Formation Pattern

1
let's を使って提案するのは、今日英語でやることの中で一番簡単なことかもしれない。とても厳格でシンプルなレシピに従っている。以下のステップを見てみよう：
2
魔法の言葉 let's で始める。
3
動詞の base form（原形）を加える（to も -ing も -ed もなし）。
4
残りのアイデアを付け足す。
5
Form | Example | Translation
6
--- | --- | ---
7
Let's + Verb | Let's go | 行こう
8
Let's + Verb | Let's eat | 食べよう
9
Let's not + Verb | Let's not stay | 長居するのはやめよう
10
否定形にするには、単純に let's の後に not を足すだけ。
11
例：Let's not + order（注文する） + sushi（寿司を） again（また）。
12
注意：ここには 'do' や 'does' は入らない。ただシンプルに not だけ。あまりに簡単すぎて、カンニングしてる気分になるかもね。

When To Use It

グループを前に進めたいときはいつでも使おう。
  • Socializing: 「授業の後に飲みに行こうよ（Let's grab a drink）。」
  • Gaming: 「ミドルレーンに突っ込もう（Let's rush）！」
  • Work: 「月曜日に連絡を取り合いましょう（Let's touch base）。」（みんな大好きな会社の決まり文句だよね？）
  • Self-talk: 先延ばしにしているとき、自分自身に使うこともある。「よし、このエッセイを書き始めよう（Okay, let's start）。」
森の写真に「Let's get lost（迷子になろう＝冒険しよう）」みたいなインスタのキャプションをつけるのに最適だ。あるいは、TikTokのコメントで興奮を表す「Let's goooo!」みたいにね。命令と質問の間を埋めてくれる表現なんだ。

Common Mistakes

シンプルだけど、陥りやすい罠がいくつかある。
  • The 'to' Trap: Let's to go と言いたくなるかもしれない。これは絶対ダメ。動詞は「裸（naked）」でなきゃいけない。to は禁止だ。
  • The '-ing' Trap: Let's going と言うのは避けよう。ループにはまっているように聞こえるからね。シンプルに Let's go でいこう。
  • The Apostrophe: 小さな ' を忘れがちだ。もし lets と書いたら、飼い主を朝寝坊させてあげる（lets）猫の話になってしまう。提案するときは let's を使おう。
  • Double Negatives: Let's don't go と言おうとする人がいる。とてもカジュアルな方言や歌で聞くことはあるかもしれないけれど、A2試験や一般的な明確なコミュニケーションのためには、Let's not go を貫こう。

Contrast With Similar Patterns

提案する方法は他にもあって、適切なものを選ぶともっとネイティブらしく聞こえるよ。

1. Why don't we...?: これは少し柔らかい表現。質問形式だね。Let's のほうが、自信のある提案という感じだ。

2. How about [verb]-ing?: ブレインストーミングに最適。「ピザを頼むのはどう？（How about ordering pizza?）」

3. Shall we?: これはとてもフォーマル。パートナーの両親に好印象を与えたいときや、時代劇の中にいるならこれを使おう。

4. Would you like to...?: これは丁寧で、相手の願望に焦点を当てている。Let's はグループの活動に焦点を当てているんだ。

Quick FAQ

Q

let's は相手が一人だけでも使える？

もちろん！2人でも200人でも使えるよ。

Q

仕事で使っても大丈夫？

全然OK。偉そうな上司ではなく、チームプレイヤーのように聞こえるからね。

Q

超フォーマルにしたい場合は？

Let us を使おう。でも気をつけて、王冠や魔法の杖を持ってないか探されるかもしれないよ。

Q

let's の提案にはどう返事すればいい？

「Yes, let's!（そうしよう！）」や「I'd rather not（やめておきたいな）」、あるいは「Good idea!（いい考えだね！）」だね。

Q

Let's go! はいつも提案なの？

いつもじゃないよ！お気に入りのチームがゴールを決めた後に「やったー！」「すげー！」（'I'm excited!' や 'Great job!'）と言う意味で使われることもよくあるんだ。

💡

短く簡潔に！

「Let's」は、短く直接的な提案に最適だよ。その後ろの文を複雑にしすぎず、すぐに具体的な行動を伝えよう！「ランチを食べよう！」: "Let's eat lunch."
⚠️

「to」のワナに気をつけて！

これは本当に一番多い間違い！「Let's」と動詞の間に「to」は絶対に入れないでね。「Let's go」であって、「Let's to go」じゃないよ！
🎯

付加疑問文を加えよう

もっと丁寧にしたい、相手の同意も確認したいときは、最後に「shall we?」や「okay?」を付け足そう。例えば、「会議を始めましょうか？」: "Let's start, shall we?" と言うと、協力的な提案になるよ。
🌍

場の空気を読もう

「Let's」はとても一般的でフレンドリーだけど、CEOとの初対面など、とてもフォーマルな場面では「～することをお勧めします。」: I suggest we... や「～しませんか？」:
Would you like to...?
を使った方が丁寧だよ。
💡

励ますときにも使おう

「Let's」は新しいアイデアを出すだけじゃないよ。チームを励ますときにも使えるんだ。「最後まで頑張ろう！」: "Let's finish strong!« や「全力を尽くそう！」: »Let's give it our best shot!" のようにね。

Smart Tips

Imagine the 'to' is a wall blocking your way. Kick it out! Just say 'Let's' and the action.

Let's to start. → Let's start.

Add 'shall we?' to the end. It turns a suggestion into a collaborative request.

Let's review the document. → Let's review the document, shall we?

Say 'Let's see...' slowly. It's a natural filler that native speakers use all the time.

Uh... I think... the meeting is at 3. → Let's see... the meeting is at 3.

Don't use 'don't'. Just put 'not' after 'Let's'.

Let's don't go. → Let's not go.

発音

/lɛts/

The 's' sound

The 's' in 'Let's' is unvoiced /s/ because it follows the unvoiced /t/.

L's-go! /lsɡoʊ/

Reduction

In fast speech, 'Let's' can sound like 'L's' or 'T's'.

Falling Intonation

Let's go. ↘

A standard, confident suggestion.

Rising Intonation (with tag)

Let's go, shall we? ↗

A polite request for agreement.

記憶術

LET'S = Leave Everything, Together Start!

視覚的連想

Imagine a group of friends standing in a circle. One person puts their hand in the middle and says 'Let's!' and everyone else puts their hands in too. This represents the inclusive, group nature of the word.

Rhyme

Don't say 'to', don't say 'ing', with 'Let's' the base verb is the thing!

Story

A group of explorers is standing at the edge of a jungle. The leader doesn't say 'You go in!' (Imperative) or 'I am going in' (Statement). Instead, she says 'Let's explore!' and they all step forward together. This shows that 'Let's' is about shared adventure.

Word Web

Let'sSuggestionTogetherInclusiveBase VerbNotShall we?

チャレンジ

Look around you right now. Think of three things you could suggest doing with a friend using 'Let's' (e.g., 'Let's drink water', 'Let's open the window'). Say them out loud!

文化メモ

Using 'Let's' is a key way to show 'politeness through inclusion.' It avoids the bossiness of a direct command.

The tag 'shall we?' is very common in the UK to soften suggestions and make them sound more collaborative or sophisticated.

Americans often use 'Let's' followed by 'just' to emphasize that an action is simple or a good solution to a problem.

From the Old English 'lætan' (to allow/leave) and 'us' (the objective form of 'we').

よくある質問 (8)

Technically no, but people often say `Let's see...` or `Let's think...` when they are talking to themselves. It's like you are inviting your brain to work with you!

`Let's` is for everyday suggestions. `Let us` is very formal and usually used in speeches, prayers, or when asking for permission (e.g., 'Let us go' meaning 'Release us').

In standard English, no. You should use `Let's not`. However, you might hear `Let's don't` in some American dialects, but it is considered grammatically incorrect in exams and professional writing.

It is a tag question. Because `Let's` is a contraction of `Let us`, the corresponding auxiliary verb for the tag is `shall`. It makes the suggestion sound like a polite question.

Yes! Any action verb works. `Let's be`, `Let's have`, `Let's go`, `Let's study`. Just remember to use the base form.

It is a 'soft' command. It's more of a suggestion because it includes the speaker. It's much more polite than saying 'Go!' or 'Eat!'

You can say 'Yes, let's!' or 'Okay!' or 'I'd rather not.' If you agree, 'Let's!' is a perfect short answer.

No. Even in the negative, you must never use 'to'. It is always `Let's not go`.
