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.

Hi

That was great. Honestly speaking, I was kind of persons who really got lost whether lose is true or loose fits better. Thanks your effort and enthusiastic to learn English to us.

I have a question which is not related to those words but I would be grateful to explain it to and that is that the author used the adverb "incidentally" in the beginning of some sentences without a comma afterward. Is it true or not to put comma after an adverb which comes in the start of a sentence? Any way, would you please get some lessons about punctuation?

Dear Alan,
I really appreciate your interesting and valuable essay about the words: "loose" (adjective) and "lose" (verb) and the examples were very clear too.
Thanks a lot!

My best regards,

Cesar lopez Petrovich.
