Basically, we lend something to someone and borrow something from someone.

The program director of a trip that I just returned from used 'lend' when I would have used 'borrow'. He is from Wales, so that may be common there.

Hello, CT.

You need to be more careful typing or check your grammar. The sentences should read:

I borrowed his book -- It's his, and I will use it

He borrowed my book -- It's mine, and he will use it

He lent me his book -- It's his, and I will use it

I lent him my book -- It's mine, and he will use it

My book was borrowed by him -- It's mine, and he will use it

His book was borrowed by me -- It's his, and I will use it

Now, what vocabulary are you seeking?
