One question, What do these mean? (Let's, Let, Set,) Where could I use these words?

In order to answer your question well, I would need to see them used in a sentence. But, here is some information that may be helpful.

The contraction let's is the contraction of let us. It is used to form the first person plural form of the imperative tense. For example:
vayamos = let's go
comamos = let's eat
hablemos = let's talk

The verb let can mean allow (permite/deje). For example:
(deje) que vaya al parque = let him/her/it go to the park
(deje) que vayan al parque = let them go to the park
(deje) que vaya al parque = let me go to the park

The verb let is also used in the indicative form, and means the same thing (permit/allow). For example:
Ella me deja ir al súper. = She lets (allows/permits) me go to the supermarket.
¿Me da permiso para ir? = Will you let me go?

The verb set could be translated as poner/colocar. For example:
Set the table. = Ponga la mesa.
Set it here. = Colóquelo aquí.

It could be translated as establecer:
She set a speed record in her car. = Ella estableció un récord de velocidad en su carro.

There are many ways to translate this verb. Also, the words set and let can be nouns or adjectives.

Make sure you include sample sentences.

Shara, por favor coloca la camioneta al lado del arbol.
