let my hand go off?

[basharath2]

Hello,

Which sentence is correct?

1. let my hand go off.
2. let go my hand off.
3. let go my hand.

Please give reason.

[Fazzu]

I will say,let go off my hand.

[englishstudent]

I would say - "Let go of my hand" (not "off")

[Tdol]

I agree with englishstudent- it should be of

[Fazzu]

I got a question:When do you use off and of?

Here for example can I use off?
1) I will go off
2) Switch off the light

What's the difference between off and of?

[Fazzu]

3. let go my hand.

I think the third one is right.What do you think tdol and student?

[Tdol]

Let go my hand- this might be heard in colloquial usage, but would be considered wrong by many. There is a tendency nowadays towards dropping some prepositions, but if you wrote it in a test, it would probably be marked wrong.

[Tdol]

Of- often carries no meaning and just connects words (cup of coffee), but can show possession
Off- opposite of 'on'
