Let me tell you, S+V

Do we need to put , a comma there? For example, 'Let me tell you, I met her yesterday'. A conjunction, 'that' becomes a comma ',' in English? Or it should be 'Let me tell you I met her yesterday'

Thank you as always in advance.

'Let me tell you' (if you are using it right) is a comment clause, and I suggest that it requires a comma. 'That' has nothing to do with commas. Let me tell you, I met her yesterday -- The first is a comment clause, like 'Guess what' or 'Surprise, surprise'.

  • 'That' has nothing to do with commas.
  • Let me tell you, I met her yesterday -- The first is a comment clause, like 'Guess what' or 'Surprise, surprise'.
  • These two synonymous sentences, however, are just requests to speak: Let me tell you I met her yesterday Let me tell you that I met her yesterday

Thank you, sir. In the end, the meanings of the three are the same? Or how can I distinguish in conversations?

No, I have just told you that the first is different from the other two, and I have indicated in what way they are different. Context and tone of voice should distinguish them for you.
