How it's used
Primarily used in the context of libraries or rental services where a physical item or a facility is held for a set duration. It implies that the original borrowing period is coming to an end and the user wishes to push back the due date. Unlike general borrowing, it specifically highlights the act of extending an existing agreement.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 借, which is simply to borrow. Remember that 續借 requires an existing loan to be in progress, so it cannot be used when you are checking out an item for the first time.
