Lend and borrow

[EnglishStudent]

It´s me again

I don´t understand well the difference between lend and borrow, could anybody help me?

Thanks

[Zach]

To lend means to give something to someone, to share it and want it back soon

To borrow means someone lends something to you, meaning they share it with you and they want it back

For example, a book, movie, or game.

Hope this helps.

I have 50$ and my friend Jake needs 50$. I lend Jake 50$ and Jake agrees to pay me back in 1 month. I am the lender because I leant the money. Jake is the borrower because he borrowed the money. Jake better get my money back to me or I'm gonna shave his eyebrows while he sleeps. j/k

Hope this explains it.

Thank you, very much. Now, I understand.

Thanks for the humor Eric, just what I needed tonight- to worry you're going to come shave my eyebrows. ;D

[Eric]

Is your name Jake? lol

[Eric]

Oh, and I didn't have to shave his eyebrows. Crazy guy did it himself! ROFL
