Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Loose vs Lose lesson Loose is an adjective meaning not tight or not firmly attached: 'a loose thread.' Lose is a verb meaning to no longer have something, or to fail to win: 'Don't lose your keys.' Pronunciation is the clue: loose rhymes with 'goose' (a soft 's' sound), while lose rhymes with 'choose' (a 'z' sound).
