I'm Not Going To Let You Get Away With It
Which of the following is a correct way to say:
I’m not going to let you (tú) get away with it. No voy a dejar que te salgas con la tuya. No te voy a dejar salir con la tuya. No te voy a dejar salirte con la tuya. I THINK I have heard the first one, but the last two come to my mind when I think of saying it; but I don't know if they are correct and/or if the second and third one needs "salir" or "salirte." Input and explanations are appreciated. |

No voy a dejar que te salgas con la tuya.
This is the standard version No te voy a dejar salir con la tuya. The verbal expression is "salirse con la suya", with -se being a lexicalised pronoun, and the pronoun "te" here is affecting "dejar" instead of "salir" No te voy a dejar salirte con la tuya No voy a dejarte salirte con la tuya are not wrong, but increasingly difficult to parse ¡Ahijuna! ¡No me saldré con la mía!

Thank you for the quick response, aleCcowaN.
So based on your response, may I assume that the best way to say The teacher didn't let me get away with it would be El profesor no dejó que (yo) saliera con la mía |
