Grammar
"let me alone" or "let me be alone"
Hi all,
I have a simple question that I don't know the answer. Please help me.
Which one is the right one? "let me alone" or "let me be alone"? I think that the use of "let" and "make" are quite different?
We say "make me happy" and "let me be happy". Am I right?
Thank you.
Liya

Both are correct. The first one is an idiom, as Regards says, meaning "leave me alone" (for example "stop disturbing me" or "stop criticizing me") but there's nothing wrong with the second one and it means exactly what it says.
