> leave and let leave and let are not interchangeable. Leave go should not be substituted for let go in such sentences as "Do not let go of the rope". "Do not leave go of the rope" is considered to be incorrect. However both leave alone and let alone can be used in the sense of "to stop disturbing or interfering with", as in "Leave/let the dog alone or it will bite you" and "leave/let your mother alone-she is not feeling well". Leave alone can also mean "leave on one's own, cause to be alone", as in "Her husband went away and left her alone", but let alone cannot be used in this sense. Let alone can also mean "not to mention, without considering", as in "They cannot afford proper food, let alone a holiday", but leave alone should not be used in this sense.
