"Borrow" or "lend"? That's the question.

Sometimes it’s difficult to remember when we have to use one instead of the other, mainly if you are a Catalan speaker. Let’s see the rule and some exercises. Remember: the more you use them the more confident are you going to be.

1.     We use borrow to say that we take something temporarily with the intention of returning it.

·       Can I borrow your car?

·       She borrowed $100 from her father.

2.     We use lend to say that we give something temporarily with the intention of having it returned.

·       Can you lend me your car?

·       Her father lent her $100.

·       Her father lent $100 to his daughter.
