Sentence pattern with phrase "let alone"
In sentences where "let alone" is used, should "being" or "been" be used in the second half of the sentence? Is there a rule for this? Please advise. Does the second half intend to say "let alone my being any good"?
There is no way I'd have gone to that meeting, let alone being/been any good.
