Have you ever lent money to others?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant but has grammatical mistakes and could be clearer. Use past tense consistently and add linking words for coherence. For example, "Yes, I once lent money to a friend who needed it to buy a new laptop. After a few months, he returned the same amount with interest."

× Till now I have borrowed money from others.
✓ Till now I have never borrowed money from others.
The original sentence 'Till now I have borrowed money from others' suggests that the speaker has borrowed money, but the context implies the speaker wants to say they have not borrowed money so far. The present perfect tense is correct, but the sentence lacks the negative 'never' to express this meaning clearly.
× I always lend my money to friends when they are needing help.
✓ I always lend my money to friends when they need help.
The phrase 'are needing' is incorrect because 'need' is a stative verb and is not normally used in the continuous form. The correct form is the simple present 'need' to express habitual or general situations.
× Yes, once I lent the money to my friend when he needs money to buy a new laptop and after a few months he returned me same amount of money with interest.
✓ Yes, once I lent money to my friend when he needed money to buy a new laptop, and after a few months he returned the same amount of money with interest.
The verb 'needs' should be in the past tense 'needed' to match the past action 'lent'. Also, 'returned me same amount' is incorrect; it should be 'returned the same amount to me' or 'returned the same amount'. The article 'the' is needed before 'same amount'. These corrections ensure proper tense consistency and correct article usage.
