This phrase [Loose it]
should be

Lose it.

You can only use [Lose it]if you change it to [Loosen it] and that would refer to you making something loose.

happykia, thank you!

When you said "Don’t leave the toilet lid up!"
sounds like you added a word before toilet.

"Don't leave the .... toilet lid up!"

Is that possible or I'm wrong?

Thanks

"Could you give me back my book" sound weird?
How would you say that?

"Could you give me back my book" sounds a little demanding. You'd only say that exact sentence if you were fed up that they haven't given you the book back yet.

"Could you please give me my book back?" sounds a lot nicer and friendlier.
