Hello Ravi,
You mean "When should I use 'let'?" ?!
"Let" is used in different contexts:
* It could mean ' to permit ' or 'allow':
"She lets him roam around."
"The teacher lets the students take a break."
* It is used as an auxiliary to express a request, proposal, or command, or to convey a warning or threat .
"Let's go"
"Just let me see you doing that again."
* Also (in mathematical or philosophical discourse) used as an auxiliary to express an assumption or hypothesis:
" Let 'a' equal 'b' "
* In an informal way it is used to mean 'utter':
* In conjugations :
- let alone : much less , not to mention
" I can't remember him, let alone his brother."
- let loose: set free and informally it means to make a sound or remark suddenly.
