Learn English – Let it know, let it knows

verbsword-choice

I have this sentence:

The world knows how you feel.

You can change the world with it: It knows how you feel.

So it is right, because if you use The world know how you feel. and then you replace with it: It know how you feel.

But what about this one:

Let the world know how you feel

or

Let the world knows how you feel.

Should it be let it knows or let it know? Why, is that a third person?

Best Answer

It's let the world know how you feel.

It's just because let is followed by the base form of the verb. (AKA infinitive without to.)

Let him know,
Let them know,
Let him/them knows.
