hi everybody welcome to let's talk and
this is me your trainer meera today i've
got few things for you
first thing i think you can see this on
the board
one column is filled with certain
examples
and so is the other we're going to talk
about the difference between
very commonly mistaken words miss and
lose we often generally get confused
thinking oh hold on did i lose uh my
train or did i miss my train
see what i'm talking about generally
when we just are in a conversation
we end up mixing these two words or
simply getting confused when someone
else is talking to us about the same
let's get started with our first column
we're going to talk about
miss over here now guys here's the thing
what does miss
mean
the word miss means that you there is a
target okay imagine that there is a
target and there's a board okay and you
have pins to hit the target
right imagine
now when you throw the pin on the board
but it ends up
falling on the ground just hitting
everywhere else but the target that
means you missed the the target and that
is exactly what it means and i wanted to
keep it as simple as that so i'm going
to write
the word miss means to
not
hit
a
target
to miss a target to not hit a target as
simple as that now once i've kept it at
this simple it's going to be very easy
for you to use this in your sentences
now
this for example i missed my flight why
because i overslept your target was to
catch a flight at 9 00 am
but you missed it
you did not hit the target of catching
or boarding the flight and that is how
you use
miss over here
not to forget to mention that
miss
is a regular verb all right so
miss is
a regular
all right moving on from the first
example let's take a look at the second
example over here he missed his let's
talk lesson so
today there was a new video or a new
lesson that was uploaded but your friend
happened to
miss the video that means it was a
target that he had to watch the video
but
he couldn't make it so go ahead and tell
your friend that hey don't miss your
let's talk lessons come on
and that is as simple as that you missed
something you missed watching the video
on time you did not watch it you did not
complete your target okay i missed the
alarm this morning
something that happens to all of us does
it of course now don't lie to me i know
we end up snoozing the alarms we don't
wake up on time we are lazy in bed right
i missed the alarm same example and same
meaning you don't lose the alarm because
if you do that means you have lost a
complete watch or the clock that you
have or the phone that you had put your
set your alarm on and now here's a
different example
i miss you every day
what does that mean does that mean that
there was a target that you had to miss
someone every day and you did not miss
them no your miss is a feeling so along
with
the meaning not to hit a target miss can
also be used to express a certain
feeling okay
a feeling of missing someone right to
not have that person by your side and
you think of that person that means you
miss that person you don't lose that
person because if you lose that person
you would have to launch a police
complaint of
missing see
now the fact that i've said missing i
would like to come to the next example
over here my ring is missing i bought a
new ring
okay
and now it's missing
guys
you're in this case i have used
missing as an adjective
and not as a verb so
my ring is missing over here is an
objective and it actually
simply means that i have lost it okay
lost the
ring
since i've spoken about missing and
losing the ring i'm going to jump to my
next column over here where i talk to
you about lose now
miss means not to to not hit a target
but then what does lose means
what does lose means
lose means to not have something anymore
you had a toy and you don't have it
anymore it was yours in the beginning
but now you don't have it anymore you
don't possess it anymore and that means
lose you have lost it
not
to have
something
anymore
okay
and lose is an irregular verb guys
unlike
miss over here now guys just for example
can you say that i lost my flight
can you say that no because that would
actually mean that you owned the plane
and you have
lost it
that means you cannot replace the word
lose over here at least in this example
you cannot lose a bus you cannot lose a
taxi unless and until that belonged to
you
now coming back to lose
oh no i lost my ring
it actually means that you own the ring
right and you do not have it anymore
with you that's exactly what it means
when you use lose in such a situation
similarly i have used missing i have
replaced lose with missing over here but
that
becomes an adjective in that case okay
moving on to the next meaning in the
next example
our team lost by 20 points okay
now guys
when i speak about games okay in general
or sport
i actually have to use the word lost
when you don't win a game
you do not say our team missed by 20
points
well that doesn't seem right that's not
right you can lose the team can lose by
20 points okay
now um the reason why i mentioned this
example over here is generally this is
one of the reasons why people do get
confused with miss and lose right now
say for example you had to watch a game
with your friends tonight okay but you
were working or you were working on a
presentation or your homework or you had
some family members come over and you
had to attend to them
right
then the next morning and you ended up
missing the game that night so the next
morning you can tell others oh no you
know what i didn't i didn't get time to
watch the game i missed the game that
means you
did not hit the target you did not catch
the game
right but here when you do not win
you use the term lose our team lost by
20 points moving on to the last example
we have i lost
my temper that means to
lose
your calm
i lost my temper the way we use i miss
you every day as a feeling right
i lost my temper is close to that not
exactly the same but it's on the same
lines right you can use you will not say
i missed my temper you would say i lost
my temper because he was being rude to
me because he back answered me and
that's why i lost my temper
i missed my flight so i lost my temper
is a way that you can use and combine
both the words in the same sentence by
expressing what you mean exactly okay
i'm sure that this has helped you
somewhere to sort of get rid of the
confusion that you had about miss and
lose remember these example guy examples
guys make sure that you use at least two
any of these today just once in any of
your conversations okay well guys that's
all for the day i will see you very soon
with another topic another lesson until
then keep practicing keep smiling spread
a lot of love this is me meera signing
off for the day guys
bye
