Here are the comments and corrections, Azz:
a. I didn't have the time to take care of the task that I had to/was supposed to carry out. b. Fine c. I owed him a lot, but didn't have the money to give back to him. d. He needed some cash, but I didn't have the money to give/lend/loan him. e. not correct because you need the indirect object after give |
