?? Where's the imperfect tense here? Shouldn't it be something like **let's
were going?
Mike
Obviously I use them where necessary, but when choosing between perfect and
imperfect tenses, I almost always use the imperfect (as do most people
around here).
Perhaps a love of imperfect tense is genetic. My dad even subsitutes it for
present forms. ("Let's went!")>>
Already covered this one ;-) Yes, it should.
