We use come/look/be, etc.

, when we tell somebody to do something:


0 "Come here and look at this." "What is it?"
0 I don't want to talk to you. Go away!
0 I'm not ready yet. Please wait for me.
0 Please be quiet. I'm working.

also
0 Have a good vacation! I Have a good trip! I Have a nice time! I Have fun!
(= I hope you have ...)
0 Enjoy your meal! I Enjoy the party!
( = I hope you enjoy it)
0 Good night. Sleep well!
(=I hope you sleep well)
0 A: Have a chocolate!
(=would you like a chocolate?)
a: Oh, thanks.

.
We use don't ..when we tell somebody not to do something:
0 Be careful! Don't fall.
0 Please don't go. Stay here with me.
0 Be here on time. Don't be late.

You can say Let's...when you want people to do things with you. Let's = Let us.

0 It's a nice day. Let's go out.


(=you and I can go out)
0 Come on! Let's dance.
(=you and I can dance)
0 Are you ready? Let's go.
0 Let's have fish for dinner tonight.
0 A: Should we go out tonight?
a: No, I'm tired. Let's stay home.

The negative is Let's not ... :


0 It's cold. Let's not go out. Let's stay home.
0 Let's not have fish for dinner tonight. Let's have chicken.
