Grammar
'let go' and 'let go of' (when do we use them, please)
Hi there teachers,
I'd like to ask something about 'let go' and 'let go of', please. What's the difference between these phrases when we use them?
As per my understanding of those phrases, the meaning of 'let go' is: to allow somebody/something to be free or to free somebody/something, and the meaning of 'let go of' is: to free somebody/something from one's grasp.
For example: Let go! You're hurting her.
My question is: When do we need to use 'of' with 'let go', please?
Thank you all.
