Episode 1076
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
I missed the bus. I lost my keys. I forgot my wallet. I left my phone at the office.
These four words seem similar because they all describe situations where something goes wrong. But they don't mean the same thing. Did you fail to catch something? Did you no longer have something? Did you forget something in your mind? Or did you leave it somewhere? Once you understand the difference, you'll avoid some very common English mistakes. So today, we're going to look at how native speakers really use miss, lose, forget, and leave.
