She is asking me for the loan of my car. vs She is asking me the loan of my car. #1 (permalink) Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:46 am   She is asking me for the loan of my car. vs She is asking me the loan of my car.
 

Hi,
1. She is always asking me for the loan of my car.
2. She is always asking me the loan of my car.
3. She is always asking me loan to buy a car.
Do all three sentences are correct grammatically?
Does sentence-1 mean "I should repay the loan that I borrowed from her"?
Does sentence-2 mean same as sentence-1.
Does sentence-3 mean, "She wants to borrow from me."
Please enlighten me.
Thanks in advance,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa

I think it should be:

"She is always asking me for a loan to buy a car."

Your question itself is ungrammatical. The correct form is "Are all three sentences grammatically correct?" And the answer to your question is no, they are not all grammatically correct. Only #1 is grammatical.

No, sentence #1 means that she is asking you if she can borrow your car.

I can't tell you what it means, as it's ungrammatical.

Again, I can't tell you what it means, as it doesn't make sense as written. If you rewrote it as "She's always asking me for a loan to buy a car", then it means she's asking you to loan her money to buy a car, and thus does not mean the same as #1.
