  1. Loose and Lose! What are some differences and when its right to use them By Felipe Bolaños and Eduardo Cediel…

  2. Lose… • This word is a VERB. Some of its most common meanings are to come to be without something, to fail to keep track of something, to have someone die, or to fail to win. • Here is a list of some things you can lose: keys; money; a job; 25 pounds; loved ones; a game of S.K.A.T.E., or your mind.

  3. Loose… • This word is usually used as an ADJECTIVE. It can mean free, unfettered, unbound, or lacking in restraint; a few of its antonyms (opposites) are firm, bound and tight. It can also be used as a VERB meaning to let go of, let shoot or fly, or set free. • Some things that can be or get loose are: Hair, knots, zoo animals, A skateboard wheel, a structure, an interpretation, vegetables in the grocery store, and teeth.

  4. Loose and Lose… • It’s easy. Whenever you find yourself loosely throwing a double letter “o” into the word loose, ask yourself, “Should I *lose* the “o”?” If you want a verb that means “to be without something,” then be without the extra “o”! If you want to say you “failed to win,” have the loser (not the looser) pay up the winner with the extra “o.” And if you think you might lose track of something, lose track of the second “o.”

  5. Quick Review… • Loose means 'not tight' or 'free from constraint'. • To lose means to fail to keep, win or make money.
