Miss or Lose? What's the difference?

The verbs miss and lose have several different meanings and they can be confusing.
In some languages there are situations where one verb covers them both.  But they have different meanings in English, so let's see how we use them so you can avoid mistakes. We have lots of examples here.

Amazing videos, so useful for teaching English! Can I suggest an idea? Under the video, could you add a list of questions to check the students comprehension? This would be a great help for teachers to use with students.

The car narrowly missed a tree.
What about this sentence?

[btancourt]

-You son lost it.
-Yes, that's why he hasn't even miss one session of psychological therapy.

Lost in this case means that someone is a nutcase.
Isn't it?

Thanks again.Have a great day best teachers ever!
