What's the past tense form of the word 'lend'?

This is what goPenpal answered

The past tense of the word 'lend' is 'lent'. Much like a library book that's returned after a week, English words often have a past that they 'return' to. In this case, 'lend' changes form and becomes 'lent' when we talk about the past. Can you think of another verb that changes in the past tense?
