What does 'lets' mean (without the apostrophe)?

Question

Please give me a quick definition and use it in a sentence-I can't find it in a dictionary.
Thanks!!

Thanks!! And do you know what part of speech it is?

Answer 1

You are getting enough bad answers. Here is an additional good one. Let's : let us. Let us go and get something to eat. Let's go get something to eat.
Lets: verb. He lets us play drums. He allows us to play drums.

Answer 2

Incorrect usage. The apostrophe should denote something belonging to someone. Little sisters would be correct. Also brothers, not brother's. Neither of these kids owns anything here, so possessive apostrophes are not used.

Answer 3

The first two answers are correct. Though the second should be let's but it may not always be written that way. Usually you look at the context of what the person talking about and you can figure the meaning of the word. The first is singular the second is plural. I think that correct.

Answer 4

Ok just to clarify:

Lets (no apostrophe): to allow (present tense, singular) - Example: My mom lets me eat cookies after dinner.

Let's (apostrophe): "Let us", as in a suggestion, or "we should" - Example: It's a nice day outside, so let's go out and play.

Answer 5

To rent out. As in, "He lets the room for $20 a night."

Answer 6

Lets means when someone LETS you do something. Example: My teacher lets us play games.

Answer 7

In some places it means "rents" - like for an apartment, but they also call apartments "flats".

Answer 8

lets:allows

He lets me play the trombone on Thursdays.

Answer 9

.
He let me go to town yesterday, past tense

or He will let me go to town tomorrow, future tense

He lets me go to town whenever I want, present tense?

to allow.

Answer 10

Allow or permit, so it is a verb
