"the same went for"

lukre · #1 14-Mar-2006, 20:18

Is it grammatically correct to use the phrase "the same goes for" in simple past - "the same went for" or is it somewhat unusual? It's just that I haven't heard it very often so I'm wondering...
Thank you!

Hi Lukre,

It is grammatically correct and not unusual.

Not unusual, but I imagine less commonly used.
