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.
