Explanation
Miss has two common uses. As a verb, it means you fail to hit, reach, or catch something. For example, he missed the ball during the game. It also means to feel sad because someone is not with you. For instance, “I miss you”. As a noun, “Miss” is a polite title used before an unmarried woman’s or girl’s name, like Miss Sara. Missing someone shows care, but missing a target simply means it did not go as planned.
