    There’s also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.

    Loose is when your pants is too wide.

    Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.

        Interesting, I didn’t know that. FYI, there’s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.

        luːz - lose

        luːs - loose
