Which sentence correctly uses ‘lend’ rather than ‘borrow’?

Explanation

‘Lend’ means to give something to someone temporarily, while ‘borrow’ means to receive something from someone temporarily. Since the speaker is asking the listener to give them a pen, ‘lend’ is the correct verb, giving ‘Can you lend me your pen?’, while ‘borrow’ would require a different structure, such as ‘Can I borrow your pen?’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
