语法点小扩展
1. borrow和lend在过去完成时(have done)不能加上时间段,比如这样:
× I’ve borrowed a book from him since last week
√ I’ve borrowed a book from him / I borrowed a book from him last week
× I’ve lent Jack my phone since yesterday
√ I’ve lent Jack my phone / I lent Jack my phone yesterday
2. 表示借东西的期限时,可以加上介词“for”和时间,表示借入/借出东西之后预计多久还。
例:
I can lend you ten thousand dollars for 3 weeks.
I’ve borrowed a car from John for one month.
Could you lend me a pen for a while?
