× Yes, I've had I've had borrowed money from my friends when I forgot my money at home or I just don't have money outside, only have it in my bank account.
✓ Yes, I've borrowed money from my friends when I forgot my money at home or I just didn't have money outside, only had it in my bank account.
The phrase 'I've had borrowed' is incorrect because 'had' is unnecessary and causes redundancy. The correct form is 'I've borrowed' (present perfect). Also, 'don't have' should be in past tense 'didn't have' to match the past context. Use 'had' for past possession instead of 'have'. Suggestion: Use 'I've borrowed' to express past experience and keep tense consistent.
× So I tend to just borrow them a few bucks so I can buy food or drinks.
✓ So I tend to just borrow a few bucks from them so I can buy food or drinks.
The pronoun 'them' is incorrectly used as the object of 'borrow'. The correct structure is 'borrow something from someone'. Here, 'a few bucks' is the object borrowed, and 'them' refers to the people from whom money is borrowed. So, 'borrow a few bucks from them' is correct. Suggestion: Use 'borrow a few bucks from them' to clarify the object and source.
× Of course, I've had lent my money to others, especially my friend, because she is a very forgettable person.
✓ Of course, I've lent my money to others, especially my friend, because she is a very forgetful person.
The phrase 'I've had lent' is incorrect; 'have lent' is the correct present perfect form. Also, 'forgettable' means easy to forget, but the intended meaning is that she often forgets things, so 'forgetful' is the correct adjective. Suggestion: Use 'I've lent' for correct verb form and 'forgetful' to describe a person who forgets things.
× She. Always forget things, especially when it comes with her money, so I usually let her borrow my money to buy food.
✓ She always forgets things, especially when it comes to her money, so I usually let her borrow my money to buy food.
The sentence has a period after 'She' which is incorrect; it should be one sentence. 'Forget' should be 'forgets' to agree with third person singular subject 'She'. The phrase 'comes with her money' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'comes to her money'. Suggestion: Combine into one sentence, use 'forgets' for subject-verb agreement, and 'comes to' for correct preposition.
