loose vs. lose #1 (permalink) Tue Sep 02, 2008 13:58 pm   loose vs. lose
 

Hi,

Many ESL learners (and even native speakers) have trouble distinguishing between 'lose' and 'loose'. In most cases, people write 'loose' when they actually mean 'lose'. That's why Alan has written lose vs. loose and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten!
What do you mean by to be halfway up the drain pipe? The story is good and very helpful to learn vocabulary. So thanks so much.
