Dejar with Subjunctive??

Question

I saw in an exercise the use of "dejar" with subjunctive

Something like (but I don't remember exactly):

"Dejo que hagas tu tarea" or "Por qué no dejas que vayan al cine?"

What does dejar mean when used with subjunctive.?

Thanks,

Tim

Answer 1

Dejar means to let / allow / permit.

"Dejo que hagas tu tarea" I am letting you do your homework.

"Por qué no dejas que vayan al cine? Why don't you let them go to the movies?

Answer 2

Thanks, Tim, great question!

Thanks you, Franco for the examples; I've learned something new today!

I've only heard "Que hagas tu tarea" and "Que vayan al cine."
