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

English
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago

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!

Neporo4naja [7]
<span>1. The correct answer is A. subject. A subject is the doer of an action in a sentence - here, the pronoun you is the doer, or rather that word can name presidents.
2. The correct answer is D. direct object. The best way to figure out what the direct object in a sentence is is to ask the question What? or Whom? What/Whom did they elect? - (The 43rd) president.
3. The correct answer is predicate or verb phrase (I can't see the options for this question) - predicate is the verb in a sentence.
4. The correct answer is prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase follows a preposition - here, the preposition is the word IN.
5. The verb phrase is would have given, and the word him is used as an indirect object of the sentence.</span>
