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

1 answer:

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!

Infer what is primary problem of heating on earth atmosphere and how would you solve this problem?

Elena L [17]

The primary problem is the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect is when some gases (including CO2) absorbs some portion of sun's heat to make the atmosphere warm to support life. But when the amount of CO2 etc. increases in the atmosphere, it heats up more than it is required. So, by limiting CO2 emission, we can solve this problem.
