This week, while doing some exercises online, it dawned on me that I muddle up the uses of lend and borrow. So, here comes the use of each explained for me and any other learner who has the same problem as me:
lend-to give something to somebody that belongs to you:
I can lend you my umbrella.
borrow-to take and use something that belongs to somebody else:
I'd like to borrow your umbrella.
And here is the direct link to the exercise that made me aware of my ignorance:

Talking about links, I've also come across a link for practising prepositions (our current topic in Ms Welland's class; to be found on the site under prepositions):
