Oh, I think I confuse "lost" and "loose" who can be pretty similar in a french as the can be translate by the same verb ("perdre", if it makes sense).


Haha, that's one of the most annoying mistakes that people make in my opinion.

Loose means 'to untie or to set free'. However the most common usage of 'loose' is as an adjective meaning 'not tight'. As a verb it is usually 'loosen' - 'to make less tight'.

Lose means 'to be unable to find'.

The pronunciation is different too:

Lose = Looz
Loose = Looss

I just tried to reply to you and Grammarly enlight me a possible mistake.

I wrote : I should have go to "just installed" then.

Grammarly sublines "have" and propose to me this correction : It appears that the verb go should be in the to-infinitive form. Consider adding the word to. -> have to.

Is it correct ? I should have written "I should have to go to 'just installed' then." ?

Naughty Grammarly, though your use of 'go to' was incorrect, so that may have confused it.

The correct English - "I should have used 'just installed' then."
or "I should have gone with 'just installed' then."

Maybe we should just create a "How would you say that thread", à la "what to do with this guy thread" in the rookie area or in discussions ?
