Loaned Or Lent

Lent or loaned? A century ago, the most learned commentators asserted that "loan" is a noun -- that it is never a verb. This tells you something about the learnedness of learned commentators. As a transitive verb, "loaned" has been in use since the 16th century. In most contexts, it has completely displaced "lent," but there are exceptions. "The judge lent an attentive ear to counsel." "The music lent an aura of mystery."

"Loaned" is considered American while "lent" is British.

loaned is the simple past of LOAN & lent of LEND...so,

from MSN's Encarta:

"loan or lend?

If you are letting somebody else temporarily use physical property or money of yours, it is quite acceptable, especially in less formal contexts, to use the verb loan, as in I loaned him some lunch money. In more formal settings lend is by far the safer choice: According to the terms of this agreement, we will lend you the stipulated amount of cash. The verb loan can be used only with reference to the temporary lending of physical property or assets. If the context is not literal or physical, lend is the only choice: 'The evidence lends [not loans] credence to the witness's previous testimony.' 'The subtle use of strings lends [not loans] fluidity to the composition.' "
