I lose a game (present), same as I am losing a game. I lost a game (past) "The lose of this game has been frustrating. "??? - incorrect "Losing the game was very frustrating" - correct It is "The Loss of this game is frusterating" SO " We had a Loss on the weekend" and "We may lose on the weekend" or "We had lost another game" and "I feel like a LOSER" but that is negative, so say, " I have lost this time and we cannot lose again so i am not a loser regarding our previous losses" get it. That will be $15aud thanks. Pm me if you need any other english lessons....TG |

We are getting into different types of English now - americanisms (or should that be australianisms?)
We rarely use loss as a noun, unless we are talking about bereavement (I am sorry for your sad loss), in terms of sport 'defeat' is much better English. 'on the weekend' is not right either, it should be 'at the weekend'. 'We had a defeat at the weekend.' "The Loss of this game is frusterating" is terrible English ... 'Losing this game is/was frustrating'. Last edited on 2011-11-04 10:47:04 by JonnyP |

British English is quite different to American English - unfortunately, with the influence of American TV shows and the internet, we have a generation here who are starting to sound like Americans..... oh the shame of it! Such as 'you guys' to refer to groups of people who are not all male, cakes are becoming muffins...... |
