?? 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!")
