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

English
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]2 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 information from this passage about Enkai is most important to include in a summary of the overall story?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The tribe’s relationship with Enkai is crucial to them.

Explanation:

According to a different source, the passage that is included with this question is:

<em>Our relationship with Enkai is essential to the tribe. Enkai is neither male nor female. The sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior. Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains. When angry, though, Enkai becomes Enkai Nonyokie—the Red God. In these times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up and becomes barren. Because of this, we work to keep Enkai happy.</em>

Although the passage mentions many different things about Enkai, the main idea that it tries to convey is that the people have a relationship with Enkai that is crucial to their lifestyle and their well-being. In this passage, we learn that the people have various beliefs about Enkai, but also that they work tirelessly to keep Enkai happy.
