~자고 하다
**자고 하다 can be added to the stem of verbs when you’re recalling what someone said. But, this is only for recalling when someone says “Let’s.. (do something).” For example: “He said let’s go!” Or “She said let’s eat!”* -자고 하다 doesn't have to be only about the past. It can be used for the present (i.e. someone is proposing something) or even for the future if you're predicting it.
