你好！我是來自mmmEnglish的Emma！我是來自mmmEnglish的Emma!

because some English verbs are quite similar

and sometimes it's hard to know which one

Last week, I talked about the verbs, been and gone.

上週，我講到了動詞，been和gone。

In this lesson, I'll be talking about the verbs

And they're confusing because the meanings

而且它們很混亂，因為它們的意思是：

and remember which one is the correct one to use.

Just like the difference between been and gone,

the main difference between 'to lend' and 'to borrow'

Okay, so what do these verbs actually mean?

好吧，那麼這些動詞到底是什麼意思呢？

'To lend' means to give something to someone

I'll lend you some money when I get paid.

等我發了工資，我再借給你一些錢。

He lent his car to a friend for the weekend.

It's important to note that with this verb,

and instead, loan is used in American English.

所以過去式的形式變成了借貸。

貸款是一個常規動詞，所以它變成了

Okay, so lend means to give something to someone

好吧，借是指把東西給別人的意思。

Now, when we use borrow, we simply need to switch

現在，當我們使用借貸時，我們只需要將

the action to the person who is receiving the item.

'To borrow' means to get something from someone

"借 "是指從別人那裡拿東西的意思

現在，借是一個普通的過去式動詞。

so we just need to add -ed to make it borrowed

所以我們只需要加上-ed就可以了。

And borrow is similar to take or receive.

that the action only happens for a short period of time.

Can you lend me your car for the weekend?

The subject, so the person who is doing the action,

You can't say "Can I lend me your car for the weekend?"

你不能說 "我可以借你的車給我過週末嗎？"

You can only lend something if it belongs to you.

只有屬於你的東西，你才能借給它。

You also can't say, "Can you borrow me your car?"

你也不能說："能不能把你的車借給我？"

The person who owns the car cannot borrow it.

Getting the information about who's giving and who's

So, let's make sure you're getting that part right.

所以，讓我們確保你得到這部分的權利。

We have subject with lend with our object pronoun

我們的賓語代詞有主語和藉詞的關係。

Now, lend can also be directly followed by the object

現在，lend也可以直接跟在對象後面。

but if you want to say who's receiving the action,

you can't use an object pronoun after the verb.

你不能在動詞後面用賓語代詞。

You can't say "Can you borrow me your car?"

你不能說 "你能借我你的車嗎？"

But you can use subject with borrow and the object.

但你可以用主語與借語和賓語。

And then you can add the preposition, from,
