Are you trying to say that you let someone borrow something from you? Well if you are then you should say, "I let someone borrow it" or "I gave it to someone to borrow it" or something like that.

No, its absolutely correct-not.
Maybe you mean to say that you let someone hold it.
May I borrow your your sentence?
It is on loan to a fellow human being.
If you lend me your sentence, I return it on Tuesday.
Thanks for letting me borrow your sentence.

Just change it to, " I borrowed it FOR someone...Hows that? My mother always said, "never loan, what you can't afford to give". You never lose a friend that way...

NO, you have 'tense' problem.
You can loan it to someone.
You can borrow it from someone.
you can even have borrowed it from someone to loan it to someone else that lent it to their cousin and they sold it to a pawn shop.
But you can't, Borrowed it to someone.

Only the person who took it from you is the borrower. You are the lender.

it should say I lent it to someone. He borrowed it from me . I lent it to him. Does this make sense?

God no. That is called redundancy. You simply let someone borrow it.

No. In the future just use a bunch of synonyms in the place of the word you don't think works. (Words that mean the same)
In this case I'd use "I lent it to someone"... and it works.
