LOSE vs. LOOSE: COMMONLY CONFUSED WORDS

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you had a great weekend. 

This week we are going to look at pairs of words that are often confused in English. We start off with two words that only have a one-letter difference. 

Word 1: LOSE

Meaning: to no longer have something because you do not know where it is. It's lost.

Example 1: When you come home from work, you should always put your keys in the same place. That way you won't lose them every day. 
  
Word 2: LOOSE

Meaning: not firmly held or fastened in place.

Example 2: The nails that I used to hang the picture frame on the wall became loose, and the frame fell to the floor and broke. 

Can you create your own original sentences with these often-confused words? You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X) and we will give you feedback as soon as possible.

Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll see you tomorrow with another lesson.

All the best!
