Friends, what is correct?
1. That�s the man who borrowed the money? OR whose money I lent? (I would say A)
2. I am short of money. I dont know whether I will be able to pay my bills on time. OR I can pay my bills on time. (I would say B)
3. I have heard of him. He is said t be very rich. OR They tell he is very rich. (I would say A)
Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you! |

1.A (borrow - vypůjčit si od někoho, lend - půjčit někomu - can�t be B) 2.A ( future tense, you can�t use "can") 3.A ( tell - ř�ci někomu - can�t be B) |

Isn�t it an object clause though? or rather a noun clause used as a direct object? or maybe I �m confused by the Ukrainian grammar notions... Sophia

Could it be, this is the man whom money I lent? |

Sounds poetic, don �t you think? Maybe: This is the man to whom I lent (the) money. Sophia
Edit: just for fun -- think of a situation, where the guy had borrowed money from someone, and then his friend asked him to lend him money, and he lent him some of the borrowed money. So, won�t then the B variant be appropriate? This is the man (from whom I had borrowed it in the first place) whose money I lent (to my friend when he asked)

1. A; The second option is wrong because I lent him my money so the money belongs to me, it doesn�t belong to him. The use of whose is not correct.
2. A; Present form - can. Past form - could. Future form - will be able.
3. A; Use tell + object pronoun.

1. That�s the man who borrowed money from me. OR That �s the man I lent some money to.
2. I am short of money. I don �t know whether I will be able to pay my bills on time. OR
I am short of money, so I don �t know if I can pay my bills on time.
3. I have heard of him. He is said to be very rich. OR I have heard of him. They tell me he is very rich.
All of the above is correct.
