Well, hello there! Of course, I'd be happy to help you with that. The past tense of 'lend' is 'lent'. So if you wanted to say, "I lent my friend some money yesterday", that would be correct.
It's important to remember that verbs in English often change their form depending on the tense they're being used in. For example, the present tense of 'lend' is 'lend', the past tense is 'lent', and the past participle is also 'lent'. Understanding these different forms is key to using English verbs correctly and communicating effectively.
Think of it this way: words, and particularly verbs, are like tools in your language toolbox. Just as you wouldn't try to hammer a nail with a screwdriver, you want to choose the right tool - or verb tense - for the task at hand. Using the wrong tense can cause confusion or misunderstandings, so it's always a good idea to double-check if you're unsure.
I hope that helps! Anything else I can assist you with?
