LESSON 43
alone, lonely, lone (and lonesome)

Hugh: I live alone. I eat alone. I sleep alone… and I bath alone. I like to be alone. I like to live on my own, to do things on my own, to go on holidays on my own. I like to do everything by myself. Yes, I definitely like to be left alone. And – believe me – I don’t feel lonely!

Hugh: A lone mother brings up the children on her own. She looks after them alone, without a husband to help her. When the father brings up the children on his own without help from the children’s mother – he is a lone father, too. It’s difficult being a lone parent – lone parents have to look after their children by themselves.
