Explanation:

Ask to borrow when you want permission to take something. When someone has something that you need, ask to borrow that item. This tells them that you need to use the item temporarily and plan to give it back.[2]

For example, you’d say, “Can I borrow your pencil?” “Will you borrow the book from him?” or “I need to borrow $50.”

Let someone borrow something that belongs to you. Just like you can borrow from others, people can borrow from you. If you have an item that someone else wants, they’ll ask if they can borrow it. Tell them if they can or can’t take the item.[3]

As an example, your friend might say, “I’m cold. Can I borrow your jacket?” You might respond, “Yes, you can borrow my jacket.” In this case, they are taking your jacket, so "borrow" is the correct word.

Say “borrowed” when the action occurred in the past. The past tense form of “borrow” is “borrowed.” Use “borrowed” if you got permission to take something in the past.[4]

You might say, “Yesterday I borrowed a pencil from Amy,” “I need to pay you back the money I borrowed,” or “You borrowed my jacket, and I need it back.”

Substitute “take” to check if “borrow” is the correct word. This is an easy trick to figure out if “borrow” is the right word to use. Write or say your sentence using the word “take” instead of “borrow.” If it makes sense, “borrow” is the correct word.[5]

As an example, let's say you wanted to use your friend's sweater. You could say, “Can I take your sweater?” This sounds correct, so you'd say, “Can I borrow your sweater?”

If “take” doesn’t work, you’ll know to use “lend” in your sentence. For instance, “Will you take me $5 for lunch?” is confusing. However, “Will you lend me $5 for lunch?” makes sense!
