Explanation: In sentence 1, "note" is not the appropriate term to use when referring to the currency. In sentence 2, "borrow" should be replaced with "lend" as the speaker is the one requesting money. In sentence 3, "take" should be replaced with "accept" to indicate that the machine can receive the fifty cent notes. In sentence 4, "borrow" should be used instead of "lend" to clarify that the speaker is the one receiving money. In sentence 5, "it" should be replaced with "them" to correctly refer to the plural noun "euros." Sentence 6 is correct. In sentence 7, "coin" should be replaced with "note" as the speaker is referring to a paper bill. Sentence 8 is correct.
