It’s a terrible day, but it’ll be nice by the weekend.
Gorgeous day! And it’s going to stay like this until the weekend.

You can watch this until nine o’clock, but then we’re going to change channels. What’s
happening at nine o’clock? ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is on. She loves
that programme.
Situation 3:
I need your report by Friday. Friday is the deadline. You must give me your report on
Friday or before. I need your report until Friday. I have your report
and I’m going to need it all week. After Friday you can have it
back.
Situation 4:
So when will you be back? Errr, not until late. OK, I’ll probably be in bed by
the time you get home. OK. Have fun. See you. (Phone rings) Yes.

Fill in the gaps with the correct form of miss or lose.
We went to the cinema last night. It was a great movie.
We ............ the first ten minutes. I ....... my car keys and it took a
while to find them. So we don’t know how the movie started. But it
had a great ending. When we ...... something, we can’t find it. This
is the only key we have, so don’t ....... it. What are you looking
for? Oh I ....... the remote. ‘.......’ means fail to catch, or fail to hit
the target. Ah! I ........ We can miss a bus, we can miss a train and
we can ....... a flight – fail to catch it. But we can’t ....... a bus. Not
unless we’re a very careless bus driver. ‘.......’ and ‘.......’ have
some other meanings as well. OK, I’m off. Oh, I’ll ....... you.
I’ll ....... you too. Bye darling. Bye, bye. So we can use ‘.......’ to
describe the sad feelings we get when somebody isn’t with us any
more. And ‘.......’ can mean the opposite of ‘win’. So who won the
match? Oh we ......., three nil. Ah! Heads or tails. Heads. Tails.
You .......!
