Notice the difference
Borrow means receive something temporarily. Lend means give it temporarily. “Can I borrow your pen?” and “Can you lend me your pen?” describe the same exchange from different sides.
Make the words useful
Write a two-line conversation asking to borrow a book. Include when you will return it, then read both parts aloud.
Save two words you want to remember. Tomorrow, try saying their meanings before revealing your saved flashcards. The Urdu translations here explain the meaning used in these original examples; a word can have other meanings in another context.
