What can I say when I missed a target? I was playing with my daughter. We threw balls in to the basket. When we can take the ball in to the basket, we say "I did it!" I'd like to know what should we say,when we missed the target. Do you say "I missed it!" in this case?

Yes, "I missed it" is correct! But usually, native speakers will shorten that to, "I missed!"

Yep, "I missed" will be more natural. The "it" is understood and left out.
