    These two verbs cause a great amount of confusion!

    Do you know how to use them?

    Remember these helpful tips:

    You borrow something from somebody. In other words, you take something
    from someone for a limited time.

    You lend something to somebody. In other words, you give something to


    someone for a limited time.

    Lend is often followed by a personal pronoun e.g. me/her/us.

    Read these sentences and decide whether they need lend or borrow. Some of them
    may require the verb to be in the past tense so make sure you pay attention!
