Lend means to give something and borrow means to take something. For example: Could you give me some money, please? / Could you lend me some money, please? She took some money from me. / She borrowed some money from me. Borrow, Lend What's the difference between borrow and lend? Borrow Borrow means to take something from someone, with permission and with the intention of giving it back. The past participle is borrowed. Can I borrow the car? You can borrow a pen from him. I need to borrow some money. What happened to the books I borrowed from the library? Lend Lend is just the opposite - it means to give something to something, with the expectation that s/he will return it. The past participle is lent. Yes, I'll lend you the car. He'll be happy to lend you a pen. I can't afford to lend you any money. The library lent me those books three weeks ago. Lend can also be used figuratively, to mean to contribute, impart, or offer: The yellow wall will lend a feeling of warmth. Your story lends itself to numerous interpretations. The Bottom Line Borrow means "to take," while lend mean "to give." If you continue to have trouble with this, try substituting "take" for borrow and "give" for lend - the correct word will immediately be clear. You can only borrow something from someone: Lend me a pen is correct, "Borrow me a pen" is not. (Just as "give me a pen" is right, but "take me a pen" isn't.)
