Preview: Explanations
1."Let's go"(a)
'Let's' is followed by the base form of the verb: 'Let's go'. Never use 'to', '-ing', or '-s' after 'Let's'.
2."Let's not"(b)
The negative of 'Let's' is 'Let's not' + base verb. 'Let's not waste time' = I suggest we don't waste time.
3."Do"(d)
'Do' before an imperative adds emphasis or strong encouragement: 'Do have a piece!' = I really want you to try it.
4."Always"(a)
'Always' + imperative gives a permanent rule or strong advice: 'Always look both ways'. 'Every' and 'Each' cannot directly modify a verb this way.
5."or"(b)
'Imperative + or' means 'If you don't do this, then (something bad will happen)'. Hurry up or we'll miss the train = If we don't hurry, we'll miss it.
