Difference between “Loose” and “Lose” (Lesson-14)

Hello, friends!
My name is Snehal. Today we are going to talk about two different words which are highly useful from the point of view of English grammar. These two words are “Loose” and “Lose”. They are most commonly confusing words. So without wasting much time, let’s dive into it.

The first word is “Loose” which is spelled as L-O-O-S-E. This word is an adjective as well as a verb. The meaning of this words is “not tight” when we use this word as an adjective.
For example: Don’t put on loose clothes otherwise people might think that you have put on some weight. (First put on means to wear and the second put on means to add or to gain.)
This word can also be used as a verb. The meaning of this word is “untie” or “free from restrain”. when we use this word as a verb. At that time the usage of this word could be: The government has decided to let loose some prisoners.

The second word is “Lose” which is spelled as L-O-S-E. This word means “something that you had before but it’s not with you now”. It is a verb. Its past tense is “lost” and the past participle is also “lost”. Its gerund form is “losing“. Let’s see a few examples of this word as well.
1. Nobody wants to lose their loved ones during this pandemic.
2. He lost his expensive pen last month.
3. He is losing some of his viewers on YouTube due to a controversial video.
Sometimes, “Lost” can also be used as an adjective.
For example: An unknown person approached and gave him a lost pen yesterday.
