Hurray!

Hur·ray interjection

Hurray is defined as an alternative spelling of hurrah, which is a cheer used to express happiness, joy, triumph, approval, etc.: a shout used as in cheering.

Let’s go!

Let’s /lets/ is the short form of ‘let us’, used especially to make suggestions:
Let’s go!

Use let’s to make a suggestion about something you and someone else could do together.

Let’s… is a fairly firm way to suggest something, and is usually used when you think the other person will agree:

• Let’s go somewhere different tonight!

• Let’s start by introducing ourselves!!

Do not forget the apostrophe:

• Let’s go (NOT Lets go)!!

To make a negative suggestion, do not say ‘let’s don’t’. Use let’s not:

• Let’s not tell anyone about this.

• Let’s not go out tonight.

Speakers of British English also sometimes say don’t let’s:

• Don’t let’s argue.

Okay! Let’s learn something new every day! 😉

Other Common Sentences

I made or I’ve made it?

I made it is used with a reference to a specific time, often implicitly now or today. For example, one would say “I made it” after climbing to the peak of a mountain, or when saying “I made it as a professional swimmer on 2 January 1982 when I won the gold medal”.

I have made it is used without a specific reference to time. Thus, it means the event happened at some point in the past but the speaker isn’t being explicit about time. For example, “I have made it as a professional swimmer,” means the speaker succeeded in becoming a professional swimmer but isn’t being specific about the time that he succeeded. You are telling someone that, in the grand scheme of your life, you have done something.

It’s a very subtle difference. Here are some more examples:

Today I challenged myself to run a mile, and I made it.

I have always wanted to swim across the river, and now I’ve made it.

in summer ou in the summer 

in fall ou in the fall / in autumn ou in the autumn

in winter ou in the winter
