It’s a fascinating !
Hi I’m Oud in ChiangMai, Thailand
I’d like to ask you a question, In case the word “Loan”. Is it same “Rent” by meaning, if you think as the money is a thing,
the interest is a the meney for the rent and they both need to
return. But I think only one thing is different. “Loan” is used for money or Bank right?
I’m not sure, just try to make a definiton.
Thank you
Oud
loan=
noun…. a loan is a sum of money you borrow from someone.
lend/lent is a verb.
‘rent’ can be a noun and a verb! — I owe my landlord the rent. (noun)
Or a verb — “I rented a car!”
We don’t rent money but we can lend it!
Hope that answers your questions~
Ronnie

Would you explain the word, “lease”? What are the difference as compared with the aboves? Thanks.
Lease is like a contract or agreement. We usually have a one-year lease to rent an apartment. This is a legal contract that says you will live in the apartment for one year.
