  3. Teacher, this is right?:

    1.Both lend and borrow are "one time" verbs:
    they can be used in simple tenses, but not
    perfect tenses (when the perfect tense has
    a time phrase with since to show that an
    action continued). Both lend and borrow
    can be used in perfect tenses without time
    phrases, however:

    wrong:*I've lent him the money
    since last Tuesday.

    right: I've lent him the money


    wrong: *I've borrowed Bill's car
    since this morning.

    right: I've borrowed Bill's car.

    2. Lend and borrow can be used with for;
    for shows when the borrowed item is
    expected to be returned:

    I've lent Bill $100 for two weeks.
    (I expect Bill to return the $100 after
    two weeks.)

    I've borrowed Bill's car for a few hours.
    (Bill expects me to return his car after
    a few hours.)

    3. Have is also commonly used in situations
    involving lend and borrow:

    I lent Bill some money a week ago.
    Bill borrowed some money a week ago.

    I've lent Bill some money.
    Bill's borrowed some money from me.
    Bill's had the money for a week.

    I borrowed Bill's car this morning.
    Bill lent me his car this morning.
    I've borrowed Bill's car.
    Bill's lent me his car.
    I've had Bill's car since this morning.

    Thanks!!

    1. Hi Khalil - this explanation goes a little bit round and round and is a bit confusing I think. Think of 'prestar' in Spanish, it is a transitive verb and it is usually used as a one time verb, however, one can say: "I've lent her money for a few years." for ex, so I m not so sure I like this explanation above. Sometimes the Internet is awesome and at other times not so much. Please try to keep this simple.

      I lend you money, you borrow it. You lend me money, I borrow it.

      You lent me money. You have lent me money. You have been lending me money. All fine sentences.

      Again, keep it simple!!!
