3. MAKING SUGGESTIONS 1 “Let’s…..”
Let’s = let us
It is followed by the simple form of a verb
Negative form: “let’s not + simple verb”
Meaning = I have a suggestion for us

“Why don’t …” is used to make a friendly suggestion
“Why don’t we …+ simple verb ” meaning = let’s….
“Why don’t you.+ simple verb ”meaning =
I suggest you…
“Why don’t I …” meaning = should I …?
Examples
Why don’t we go to a movie?
Why don’t you come around at seven?
Why don’t I give Mary a call?

5. MAKING SUGGESTIONS 3 “shall I / we…”
When shall is used with I or we in a question, the speaker is usually making a suggestion and asking another person if he / she agrees with this suggestion. This use of shall is relatively formal.
Sometimes “shall we?” is used as a tag question* after let’s. (i) More informally “okay?” is used as a tag question. (ii)
EXAMPLES
Shall I open the window?
Shall we leave at two?
Let’s go, shall we? (i) / let’s go ok? (ii)
