I had Borrowed 500$ from kelly.
The above sentences are correct or wrong. |
The second sentence is correct:
I had borrowed $500 from Kelly (I had taken money for a short time with Kelly's permission).
The first sentence should be changed as follows:
Kelly had lent me $500 (Kelly had given me some money for a certain period of time). |

The first sentence could also be changed to, "I borrowed $500 from Kelly."
Note also your other mistakes: You wrote "kelly", but a name should begin with a capital letter, so her name is "Kelly". Also, in English we put the dollar sign before the number, not after. You wrote "500$", but the correct way to write it is "$500". |

Lend means 'to loan'.
'Kelly, could you lend me $500?'
or
'Kelly, could I borrow $500?'
'I'll lend you $500.' |

| Is it appropriate to use this phrase: 'make up your mind'? | In response, in return, in answer |
