Let me + (verb) (मुझे करने दो)

1. Introduction (Context Building)

  • Start with a real-life scenario:
    👉 Example: Hold a pen and say, "I want to write. Should I say, ‘Let me write’?" (Encourage students to guess.)
  • Explain the structure:
    👉 "We use 'Let me + verb' to ask for permission or to offer help."
    👉 Hindi Connection: "Let me" का मतलब होता है 'मुझे करने दो'

2. Demonstration (Teacher-led Activity)

  • Write examples on the board:
    1️⃣ Let me help you. (मुझे तुम्हारी मदद करने दो।)
    2️⃣ Let me explain. (मुझे समझाने दो।)
    3️⃣ Let me try. (मुझे कोशिश करने दो।)
    4️⃣ Let me see. (मुझे देखने दो।)

  • Act it out:
    👉 Pretend to lift a heavy bag and say, "Oh, it's heavy! Let me carry it."
    👉 Ask students: "What did I just say? Why did I use 'Let me'?"


3. Student Practice (Interactive Activities)

🟢 A. Role-Playing (Pair Work)

  • Pairs of students act out situations using "Let me + verb."
    👉 Scenario 1: One student pretends to struggle with homework. The other says, "Let me help you."
    👉 Scenario 2: One student is looking for something. The other says, "Let me find it."

🔵 B. Picture Prompt Game

  • Show pictures (e.g., someone opening a door, cooking food, using a phone).

    (Expected answer: "Let me get it for you.")

4. Group Challenge (Fun Activity)
