A COMMON MISTAKE

“Don't worry, I lend you some.”

What's wrong? Choose the right one.

WHY I do for an offer or a plan

For the future, use will, going to or I'm doing. I do is for habits, timetables (the train leaves at six), and after if or when (when I get home).

Not: Don't worry, I lend you some.

Say: Don't worry, I'll lend you some.
