What is the difference between “lay” and “lie”?

English
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago
7 0
These are two different verbs: one means: to be positioned horizontally (lie) and the other to position something else horizontally, to put something down (lay)

They sound similar and have a meaning connected to being horizontal, that's one reason for their confusion.

Make sure you also don't confuse their past tenses:

Lay: laid

lie: lay

Yes, Lay is the present tense of one of them and the past of the other: that's the other reason for their confusion!

Which sentence in the passage uses an intensive pronoun?
Ugo [173]

An intensive or reflexive pronoun is the two identical pronouns but differs in their function. Intensive pronouns are used to lay emphasis on the antecedent or the subject in the sentence. Intensive pronouns end with "selves" or "self". For example yourself, myself, themselves and so on.

Another way to identify the intensive pronoun in the sentence is by removing it from the sentence. Hence, if the sentence makes sense it is an intensive pronoun. On the other hand, if it doesn't make sense it is a reflexive pronoun.

Therefore, in the above passage sentence which uses intensive pronoun is,

"Ronnie herself walked up to him and ordered two lattes."

If the intensive pronoun 'herself' is removed, it still makes sense as:

Ronnie walked up to him and ordered two lattes.
