'Lend' and 'borrow'
En la entrada de voy vamos a ver la diferencia entre dos verbos muy parecidos pero con significados ligeramente diferentes: to lend y to borrow.
TO LEND
LEND - LENT - LENT
[prestar - el sujeto cede su posesión]
LEND SOMEONE SOMETHING
I will lend you my bike. (Yo te prestaré mi bicicleta)
LEND SOMETHING TO SOMEONE
I will lend my bike to you.
TO BORROW
BORROW - BORROWED - BORROWED
[tomar prestado - el sujeto obtiene la posesión del alguien]
BORROW SOMETHING
You will borrow my bike. (Tú tomarás prestada mi bicicleta)
BORROW SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE
You will borrow the bike from me.
Practícalo:
Traduce las siguiente oraciones al inglés. Después comprueba tus respuestas:
1 No te presté el cuaderno.
2 ¿Puedo utilizar tu goma de borrar?
3 He tomado prestado el libro de Susan.
4 ¿Me dejas tu ordenador?
5 Alison no tomó prestado el coche de Paul ayer.
Ahora, revisa tus respuestas:
1 I didn't lend you the notebook. / I didn't lend the notebook to you.
2 May/Can I borrow your rubber? / May/Can I borrow the rubber from you?
3 I have borrowed Susan's book. / I have borrowed the book from Susan.
