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.
