Have you ever borrowed money from others?
考生
Yes, I've borrowed money from a couple of people, though the experience I had when I borrowed the money was very bad because I didn't actually have the money to pay back on time and it was so disgraceful. They got to, you know, insult me and so on. So, yeah.

Have you ever lent money to others?

示例: Yes, I have lent money to some friends. For instance, one friend was unable to repay the full amount, which forced me to remind him several times. This experience made me realize how important honesty is in financial matters.
× They got to, you know, insult me and so on.
✓ They insulted me, you know, and so on.
The phrase 'got to insult me' is incorrect because 'get to' implies permission or opportunity, which does not fit the context here. The correct form is simply 'They insulted me' to indicate the action that happened.
× I had to follow him up.
✓ I had to follow up with him.
The phrase 'follow him up' is incorrect. The correct phrasal verb is 'follow up with someone' meaning to check or pursue something with that person. Using 'follow up with him' is the proper prepositional phrase.
