Ways to tell them apart:
- Lent is the past tense and past participle of the verb lend, while lended is a nonstandard form that is generally not accepted in formal writing.
- Remember, regularly conjugated verbs in past tense often add –ed, but lend is irregular, so it turns into lent.
- If you think of the past tense of send being sent, you can apply the same logic to lend, turning it into lent.
- Its like bend becomes bent; hence, lend becomes lent' instead of using the standard –ed suffix.
- In summary, even though lended might seem right because of the typical -ed ending for past tense verbs, it is grammatically incorrect.
