How to understand and learn about expressions and phrases

When we are taking public transport and we mean to be too late to catch (a passenger vehicle or the post), we use miss:

• Hurry up! We’ll miss the train if we don’t leave now.

We use lose to mean unable to be unable to find (something or someone) or to be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something):

• I’ve lost my car keys. I thought they were in this drawer.
• After the meeting, George had lost his appetite.
  
• Did we gain or lose the contract? Do we know, yet?
