9. Which of the following sentences is a way NOT to ask to borrow something? 

Explanation

¿Te presto mi lapicera? is NOT a way to ask to borrow something, as it translates to: (I lend you my pen?)

Make sure to pay attention to the indirect object (TE) as well as the conjugation of the verb PRESTAR (which in this case is in the first person singular, making it "I lend")

Submit
10. Which is the correct translation for the following sentence:  "Can you lend it to me?" 

Explanation

The correct answer is:

¿Podés prestarmela?

The indirect object pronoun (me) and the direct object pronoun (la) should be at the end of the infinitive verb (prestar).

You can also put the two pronouns individually before both verbs, but they should not be separated like they are in the other examples.
