Hello [이름]! Thanks for doing your homework. I think you were a bit confused with the idiom \'miss the boat\'. Your example sentences were too literal. ^^ Remember, it\'s an idiomatic expression. It means you fail to take advantage of an opportunity or you miss the point of something or fail to understand something. An example sentence is: \"Donghae missed the boat when he applied late for the dance contest\". You can also say, \"I missed the boat on my professor\'s explanation about the theory because my mind was elsewhere\". Hope you get it now! Please check my corrections here. Ciao! ~Teacher Marie~ 1.
