Dear Readers,
Have you ever thought about how you would ask for taking something from a friend?
What about how would you ask a friend to give you something for a moment?
Find below an explanation of how to use such verbs:
Borrow something from somebody |
Lend something to somebody |
Lend somebody something |
Borrow is like take. You borrow something from somebody.
I borrowed a pound from my friend.
Lend is like give. You lend something to somebody, or lend somebody something (the meaning is the same).
I lent my books to a friend of my father’s, and I never saw them again.
Lend me your pen for a minute, will you?
Have a worderful day.
