I am writing a project paper, and I find myself using the phrase "let's" a lot. I'm wondering if there are other phrases or words that I can use instead of "let's"? I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.



Examples:




  • We want to see x and y. Let's start with x.


  • Now, let us see the relationship between z and w.

    Well, for one thing, you could avoid the contracted form and write it out in full i.e. "let us"
