[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4062928, member: 44288"] I left them alone. I let them alone. They left me alone. They let me alone. The context is in another thread, I did not disturb the bikers I met on the turnpike. So is this correct the way I configured my sentence? I wasn't clear on the proper usage so I made a mistake and Googled it. Now, I'm even more confused. Google automatically changed the tense of the word thus changing the meaning.
