Explanation
A loan is money that someone borrows and must pay back later. For example: They took a loan to build a small house. As a verb, to loan means to give something to someone for a short time, like he loaned her his book for two days. Loans from banks usually include extra money called interest. But in daily life, it is kinder and more moral when people loan money or things without interest, simply to help someone in need, not to take advantage of their situation. Helping others with generosity creates trust and support in a community and shows good values.
