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!

Help!!! Can someone please give me a example of perception vs reality that I can draw
Ivenika [448]
Sure! How about a cat standing in front of a mirror looking at its reflection. Instead of seeing its true reflection (reality), it sees itself as a great big lion (perception).

With

Ws or whs are the words used to ask ws or whs questions.

With is the word which is not used mostly to ask questions.

Why are you going?

When will you go?

Who is going?

Where are you?

The writer who introduced the sea, the forest, and American history into the American novel was _____.
natita [175]

James Fenimore Cooper

Many of Cooper's writings focused on the American frontier. He often wrote about Native American life especially in his Leatherstocking Tales. He also wrote sea novels as well as the historical novel "History of the Navy of the United States of America".

Mark Twain is well-known for his writing about American life, but not for introducing the sea. He did introduce the Mississippi River. Herman Melville is most widely known for introducing the sea in his novel, Moby D__.
