this morning I was really late for a doctor's appointment apparently
everything was going wrong first I missed my alarm and only woke up at 8:00
my doctor's appointment was at 9:00 so I took a shower really fast and left home
when I got to the train station I was so frustrated I missed the 8:20 train
the next train would leave only at 8:40 I was gonna be so late I got to the
doctor's office at 9:30 the secretary said I had missed my appointment but she
would try to squeeze me in so she asked for my ID but when I opened my wallet
I couldn't find it I can't believe I lost my ID on the day of my doctor's
appointment I never lose any documents so I had to go home no doctor's
appointment hey friends teacher Prix here to help you talk to
anyone anywhere anytime in English the best way to learn how to use the verbs
miss and lose is through situations that's why I made this introduction in
the beginning I was telling you a story about my doctor's appointment and what
happened why I missed the appointment because I missed my alarm and I missed
the train and I lost my ID so I had to go home at the end of the day no
appointment so that's how you learn the differences between these verbs okay
they are different so with the verb lose for example you are gonna use the verb
lose when you lose objects you can't find them you search them in your
bedroom in your wallet in your purse in your bag in your car
and it's gone you lost the object okay there are some specific expressions with
lose but basically it's because you can't find an object so I lost my ID in
the example okay have you ever lost your ID let me know in the comments you will
use miss in different situations when you want to talk about
transportation when you want to talk about opportunities chances situations
okay for example I missed the train I didn't lose the train I missed the train
when I arrived at the train station the train had already left so I missed it I
can't say I lost it and the same happens to the airplane you didn't lose your
flight you missed the flight you didn't lose your bus you missed the bus okay
for example a situation your course your English course you had a class yesterday
let's suppose that you had a class at 7:00 and you, your boss asked you to work
late so you had to stay at work you missed your English class you didn't
lose you missed your English class you also use the verb miss when you are
talking about someone that you haven't seen for a long time and you are feeling
sad because you wanted to be with this person you wanted to talk to this person
but this person is in another place you you don't see this person now you
haven't seen this person for a while now so you miss this person you miss this
person's company okay so for example oh I miss jack he's in Canada now the last
time I saw him was two years ago I miss him okay do you understand as I
said the best way to learn is through specific expressions so I will give you
some to help you get started miss a chance when you miss an opportunity
maybe you had the chance to travel on the weekend with your friends for free
but something happened and you couldn't go you missed the chance okay
you missed the train you missed the bus you missed the the flight maybe you were
late maybe you forgot you miss a party maybe it was your best friend's birthday
party and but you couldn't go because you got
sick so you missed your best friend's party you didn't lose his party you
missed his party okay you can also miss a concert a show
maybe your your favorite band comes to town and you're very excited but
something happened and you are not able to go maybe you couldn't attend my live
video you missed my live video hmm don't miss
my live videos I hope to see you there every Friday okay now some combinations
with lose you lose your keys objects in general that you can't find you lose
lose your keys lose your wallet lose your cell phone have you ever lost your
cell phone let me know in the comments you can also lose your job maybe the
opportunity is gone you lost your job okay you can lose weight maybe you are a
little fat and you need to lose weight okay to be better to be healthier
alright you can also lose hope now I want to show this example because hope
is not an object hope is a feeling it's something abstract but it's a
specific expression when you lose hope you stop believing that something is
possible so you lose hope don't lose hope okay you can also lose interest for
example you liked something but now you don't you are not interested anymore
there you go as I said the best way to learn is through situations so watch
