Ví dụ: Yes, I have lent money to my friend once when she needed it urgently. She didn't have any cash, and her UPI was not working at that moment. Therefore, I helped her by giving some money, and she promised to return it the next day.
× Yes, I have borrowed money from my friend when I wanted to give something to my brother.
✓ Yes, I borrowed money from my friend when I wanted to give something to my brother.
The sentence uses 'have borrowed' (present perfect) with a specific past time 'when I wanted to give something to my brother', which requires simple past tense 'borrowed' instead of present perfect.
× And I was not early at that time and.
✓ And I was not early at that time.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and' which is incorrect sentence structure. Removing the trailing 'and' completes the sentence properly.
× I haven't got my pocket money so I borrowed from her and I told her that I will return you tomorrow.
✓ I hadn't got my pocket money so I borrowed from her and I told her that I would return it tomorrow.
The tense should be past perfect 'hadn't got' to match the past context. Also, 'return you' is incorrect; the correct object pronoun is 'it' referring to the money. 'Will' should be changed to 'would' to maintain past tense consistency in reported speech.
× Yes, I have learned some money to my friend because she.
✓ Yes, I lent some money to my friend because she.
The verb 'learned' is incorrect here; the correct past tense verb is 'lent' for lending money. Also, 'have learned' (present perfect) is inappropriate with the specific past context; simple past 'lent' is correct.
× Needed at that time and she was not having cash and her UPI was also not working.
✓ She needed money at that time, and she did not have cash, and her UPI was also not working.
The original sentence is a fragment missing the subject 'She' at the start. Also, 'was not having cash' is incorrect; 'did not have cash' is the correct simple past form. The sentence is corrected for clarity and grammatical completeness.
× So I helped her and she promised me that she will sincerely return me tomorrow.
✓ So I helped her and she promised me that she would sincerely return it tomorrow.
The verb tense in reported speech should be past 'would' instead of 'will'. Also, 'return me' is incorrect; the correct object pronoun is 'it' referring to the money.
