How long does it take to see results with TypoGrammar?

Yes - the entire site is mobile-first. Lessons, quizzes, and the grammar checker all work in any modern mobile browser. There is no app to install.

What is the difference between lose and loose?

'Lose' (one 'o') is a verb meaning to misplace something or fail to win (Don't lose your ticket. Our team might lose). 'Loose' (two o's) is an adjective meaning not tight or not firmly attached (The screw is loose. Wear loose clothing). Remember: lose rhymes with 'whose' and 'choose'.

How do I remember lose vs. loose?

Lose has one 'o' and is a verb. Loose has two o's — picture them as two 'o's that have come loose from their positions. Another tip: 'loose' rhymes with 'goose', a thing that is free and untethered.

Lose vs. Loose: What's the Difference?

Quick Answer

lose (1 "o") = verb — to misplace something or fail to win

loose (2 "o"s) = adjective — not tight, not firmly attached

Explanation

LOSE (verb) — one "o"

To be unable to find / to fail to win

lose → lost → lost

"Don't lose your keys."

"We might lose the game."

"I always lose track of time."

LOOSE (adjective) — two "o"s

Not tight, not firmly attached, free

opposite: tight, fixed, secure

Memory trick: "loose" has a double-o that has come loose — two o's floating free. "lose" rhymes with "whose" and "choose" — single-o verb.
