💡 Grammar Points
The 'Let's' Form
In Spanish, you can say 'Let's do something' by using this specific 'e' ending for -ar verbs like olvidar.
Using it with Hopes
This word is used when you express a wish, like 'I hope we forget' (Espero que olvidemos), because it's not a guaranteed fact yet.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Fact vs. Feeling
Mistake: "Saying 'Es importante que olvidamos.'"
Correction: Say 'Es importante que olvidemos.' Use the 'e' version for feelings or importance, and the 'a' version (olvidamos) for simple facts.
⭐ Usage Tips
Softening a Suggestion
Use 'olvidemos' to sound inclusive and gentle when suggesting to move on from a topic.
