I saw my friend Sherry cheating on a test. I think cheating on a test is not good. Should I let the teacher know about it?

Question

(What is the meaning of the last sentence containing 'let'? Would you like to paraphrase it? Can we use 'make' or 'have' instead of 'let'?)

Answer 1

In that sentence, "let" means "allow" or "permit."

A close paraphrase is "Should I tell the teacher about it?"
