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

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:
