he didn't have to borrow the book,you can bought it
الإجابة
The sentence contains grammatical errors. Here is the corrected version:
**Corrected Sentence:** He didn't have to borrow the book; you could have bought it.
**Explanation:**
1. **"could have bought"** is used instead of "can bought" because:
* "Can" is a modal verb in the present tense.
* The sentence refers to a past possibility or ability ("you had the opportunity to buy it in the past").
* The correct structure for this past meaning is **modal verb (could) + have + past participle (bought)**.
2. A semicolon (;) is used to connect two closely related independent clauses.
