Question about English (US)
How do you say this in English (US)? When I want to give a command to my students, such as starting the meal, have lunch, go out and play, go to pee,etc, can I say: Let have lunch, let eat, let go out and play, let go to pee? Because Let's is Let us, it means the students and I do together.

You still say “let’s,” as if you were part of the activity, too. If you don’t want to include yourself, you can say, “It’s time to [verb]” or “It’s time for [noun]”
It’s pretty common to say “let’s” when you’re talking with little children, though.

But in that situation, just students do that, I don't do that with them, so I use the word "Let", right?
