let vs allowed

[Huxley]

tell me if this phrase is correct: relating to the verb tense of "let"

1. "I should've never let you leave this place when I had the chance."

making a reference to something that happened in the past. I know that i could replace "let" with "allowed" so I'm just asking is "let" the correct verb tense?

Hi Huxley

Your sentence doesn't work with "when I had the chance" added to the end of it. But saying "I should have never let you leave this place." is fine.
