  • Could you please explain what steps you have taken to find an answer yourself and why you are still unsure? – Tuffy Feb 12 '22 at 10:11
  • Your second example, without subject-auxiliary inversion, is the usual construction. The first, which has inversion, is possible, but it tends to only be heard in certain varieties of English (mainly in the USA). – BillJ Feb 12 '22 at 11:09

    The linked thread is not relevant here. The inversion is only possible in subordinate interrogatives in contexts of strong question-orientation, which is not the case with Let's see how we can do this, thus inversion is not permitted. But in this thread, where the example does meets that criteria, inversion is possible, though mainly for some speakers in the US, I believe. – BillJ Feb 12 '22 at 12:35
  • @BillJ Thank you very much. I don't know why my question is closed. So, basically both forms are correct. Am I right? – Matin Feb 12 '22 at 14:08
  • @Matin Please see my earlier comment. – BillJ Feb 12 '22 at 15:13
