| Phrase | to miss |
| Text | The verb "to miss," in this podcast, means to be wrong, usually on a test: "If he doesn't miss the last question then he will get a perfect score." But this word, as a verb, has other meanings. It can also mean to not recognize or see something: "I told him exactly where the keys were, but he still missed them." "To miss" can mean to not attend or participate in something that is worthwhile: "Try not to miss the concert tonight. Who knows when they'll perform here again!" "To miss" can mean to feel a sense of loss, usually when someone goes away: "It's normal for parents to miss their kids when they leave home for college." The word "miss" can also be used as a noun. "Miss" can be used as a formal title for an unmarried girl or woman: "Before Mrs. Sanders got married, she was known as Miss Jones." However, these days, most people use the title "Ms." for both married and unmarried women. |
