meaning of loose or s.th?

[atabitaraf]

I would say: "If you pick an apple and loose it, it falls."
Should I replace loose with quit or something or it works well?
Would you plz tell me how to use them on occasion?
Thanks,
ata

"let go of"

What would be your complete sentence?
If you pick an apple and let it go, it falls. is this what you say?

Yes. On this planet and due to gravity, that is exactly what happens.

That's what I would say.

 

[atabitaraf]

Why do you write: "I would say" rather than "I say" ?
I think the simple present tense works better in grammar, thanks,

I would say the same as bhai (if I were to utter those words).

Raymott said 'let go of (it)', not 'let it go'.

I found "and let it go, it falls" in google with the repetition of 3170 times, but the repetition of "and let go of, it falls" is zero in google, so I think the statement "if you pick an apple and let it go, it falls" works.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with either "let it go" or "let go of it". They mean exactly the same thing.

If you did actually Google "and let go of, it falls" you won't have found anything. You have missed out a word. " ...and let go of it, it falls."

Remember that Google is great for some things and utterly pointless for others.

Exuse me, I haven't seen this structure so far:
1. If you did actually Google "and let go of, it falls" you won't have found anything.
I think these are correct:
2. If you did actually Google "and let go of, it falls" you wouldn't find anything.
3. If you had done actually Google "and let go of, it falls" you wouldn't have found anything.
Would you please tell me the rule of your structure?

3. If you had done actually Google "and let go of, it falls" you wouldn't have found anything. This is incorrect.

Is not this the third type of making conditional sentences? (past unreal)
the structure is: if past perfect, then would+have+p.p.,

but my question is the type of the first sentence (number one). Why is this true?

"If you had done actually Google" doesn't mean anything.
"If you had actually googled..." is correct. "google" is being used as a verb.
For example, you can't say "If you had done actually verb" but "If you had actually verbed" is OK.
"If you did actually google "and let go of, it falls", you won't have found anything." is correct.
"If you did (at that time in the past) actually google (verb) "and let go of, it falls", you won't (will not) have found anything (at that time).

Thanks Bhai,
What's the difference between these two sentences?
1. If you did, I won't do.
2. If you did, I wouldn't do.
The 2 is about the time being but what about the time and the meaning of the 1 ?

I think I may have confused the issue by saying:

"If you did ...., then you won't have found anything"

The second half of that sentence means "I'm not surprised that you didn't find anything".

When I said "If you did actually Google..." my point was that the words that you had Googled were incorrect, so I wasn't surprised that you didn't find them on Google.

Thank you, that would cause me to learn more.
My question about your statement "If you did ...., then you won't have found anything" is that can we use will (won't) instead of would (wouldn't) for making a unreal conditional sentence?
I think the common sentence is "If you did ...., then you wouldn't have found anything"
