Hi Clive,

Thank you very much for you reply.

Then this sentence about 'Scrabble' should be like this, 'He is sad because once again he lost / has lost at Scrabble'.

Right?

Hi Clive,

Thanks again. Why do we use the preposition 'at' before a game? Is it because we 'win/lose at + game'?

Eg. We win/lose at Monopoly'.

I lost at Monopoly. ie I lost while playing Monopoly.

'Monopoly' here is a general reference. There is no direct object.
