Expression: miss out on Thu Nov 09, 2006 14:35 pm  Expression: miss out on
 

"miss out on love from their family" -
"lack of" has been corrected by Alan and switched to "miss out on".

Is there any difference between them?

.
Miss out on is a phrasal verb. Lack of is a noun+preposition.

Miss out on means to fail to experience; to lose an opportunity. Lack of means a condition of unavailability or absence (the verb lack means be without).

Does that help?
