スコア: 70.0提案: Your answer addresses the question but contains a grammatical error ('lended' should be 'lent') and could be improved by adding linking words and more specific details. Try to explain why lending money is difficult for you and how it affects your relationships, using natural vocabulary.
例: Yes, I have lent money to some friends. However, I find it difficult because I feel embarrassed to ask for the money back, which can make the situation uncomfortable.
× Yes, I have lended money to some friends of mine.
✓ Yes, I have lent money to some friends of mine.
The verb 'lend' has an irregular past participle form 'lent', not 'lended'. Using 'lended' is incorrect. The present perfect tense requires the past participle form, so 'have lent' is correct.
