In A minor, your progression gives Am, F, C, G, one chord per bar. Click a chord in your progression to select it, then a roman numeral to replace it: the numerals stay the same in every key, only the chord names change.

Borrowed chords come from another scale on the same tonic: V, a major chord, comes from harmonic minor; its leading tone pulls hard toward the tonic.
