Dear People,
Please read the sentence and teach me if
it can work as an idiomatic English expression.
I missed seeing my son's baseball game because
I was travelling around Europe on business.
I know such a type of sentence as
I missed seeing Tom by a minute.
completely makes sense, but there is, I feel, something slightly
different between the two sentences in ..., which, unfortunately,
I cannot find a suitable word for.
Please give me your feedback.
