  • IMHO the last one doesn't suit.
  • It has also quite different meaning: received =get You can receive [letter, money, award, punch, support, education, criticism, refusal, setback etc] from sb.
  • But wait for a native.

Now I realise that "borrow" is also incorrect because we can't return "sugar" after using. Am I right?

You can buy some sugar and give it back or repay in a different way.
