Don’t say: “I lost my flight.”
Say: “I missed my flight.”
Use lose with objects:
- “Oh no! I lost my keys!”
Use lose with sports games:
- “My favorite soccer team lost 3-0 in the semifinal.”
Use miss with transportation (flights, trains, buses):
- “I missed the 7:00 train, so I had to take the 8:00 one.”
Use miss with events and opportunities:
- “You missed a great English class yesterday!”
We also use miss to talk about feeling sad when we don’t see someone:
- “My brother moved to Australia last year. I really miss him!”
