Confusing Words

Lend vs. Borrow

Hi guys❗ I'm sure that you have ever heard these words, which are often confused.

Do you know what the difference between them is❓ If you don't know it, read the following ❷ conversations and try ✌ guess, 🍀.

💬
Roger: That is the illustrated edition of ' 👦👓⚡and The Prisoner of Azkaban'❓
Karen: Yes, it is.
Roger: Who lend you the 📕❓
Karen: Katty.

💬
Student    : Good afternoon.
Librarian : Good afternoon. Do you want to borrow that 📕 from the library❓
Student    : Yes, please.


Did you guess the defference between these verbs❓ Well; if you are 😕, don´t 😟 don´t 😢. Let´s see their meanings 😉.


Lend 
To give something to somebody for a short time and expect to get it back.
For example:
      The library lend me the novel 'Pride and Prejudice'.
                           ↳ lend (sb) sth

Borrow
To get something from somebody with the intention of giving it back after a short time.
 For instance: 
       I borrow the novel 'Pride and Prejudice' from the library.
            ↳ borrow sth from (sb) 



Remember❗
When you give sth to somebody, you lend it.
When you get or receive something from somebody, you borrow it.
