let us water the plants

Grandfather is working in the garden.

Bom and Tob like to work in the garden.

B and T : "Can we help"

Grandfather : How can you help me?

B and T : We can digup the soil; we can water the plant; we can pick up dry leaves and put them in the bin.

Grandfather : Let us water the plants.

Could you tell me what the "let us water the plats" means?

I can guess it as, "Shall we (including grandfather) water the plants first"?

All three will water the plants. We don't know if they will do anything else afterwards.

Hi,

Let us water the plants.

It's much, much more commonly said as Let's water the plants. It's a way of suggesting a course of action for the speaker and others.

Best wishes, Clive
