These two words are a source of trouble for many English learners. The reason? They have about the same meaning, but each word's action goes in different directions. The term 'lend' refers to the act of giving something to someone for a limited time and then returning it. Borrowing means taking and using someone else's property for a short period of time before returning it. The person who lends something owns it and is allowing another person to use it. The person who borrows something does not own it and must return it when they are finished with it.
