Japanese

<p>
	By placing <strong>ましょう</strong> onto the end of the <strong>verb stem</strong>, it means <strong>Let's + the verb</strong>.
	The verb stem is obtained by removing the <strong>-masu</strong> ending from the long form.
	Alternatively, this pattern is also often used as a polite way to suggest doing some activity.
	It is the equivalent of <strong>Shall we + the verb?</strong> in English.
	See the table below for some example sentences using this pattern.
