Using 'Dejar' to Give Permission
When 'dejar' means 'to let' someone do something, it is often followed by 'que' and a verb in the special subjunctive form (though not always required, as in 'dejaremos que vean').
The Causative Use
You can use this verb to say you will cause something to happen: 'Dejaremos la comida lista' means 'We will make the food ready.'
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'Permitir' Instead
Mistake: "Using 'permitiremos' when the action is casual (e.g., 'we will let the dog out')."
Correction: 'Dejar' is more common and natural for simple, everyday allowing: 'Dejaremos salir al perro.' (We will let the dog out.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Simple Structure
The simplest structure for 'to let someone do something' is: Dejar + person + infinitive verb (no 'a' or 'que'). Example: 'Dejaremos correr a los niños.'
