Well, it kind of depends on what you want to say… But since you haven’t provided that, let me just give this example –
What’s the point in getting there early? We could just relax and have fun.
Why bother getting there early, when we could just relax and have fun?
We don’t need to get there early.
Etc…
How about we just relax and have fun? We don’t really need to get there early.
So you can see, there are different levels of forcefulness.
