From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
Please can you……………money?
- lend me little
- borrow me a little
-
lend me some
- borrow me some
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
''Borrow” means that you want to temporarily take something or you're letting someone take something that belongs to you; “borrowed” is the past tense.
“Lend” means you’re giving something to someone or asking someone to give you an item you need; “lent” is the past tense.
- Substitute “take” to check if “borrow” is the right word, and “give” to check if “lend” is the right word.
