This week the time is ripe for a grammar chapter that doesn't seem to get into my pretty head namely the use of the verbs lie and lay. Whenever I come up against this verbs, the only thing I know is that I'm forever asking myslef in which context I should use which one.
Here comes the "blatantly obvious" answer to my perplexing question:
1. lay
-lay, laid, laid-to put something in a horizontal position
She laid the baby on the bed.
2. lie
-lie, lay, lain-to be in or move into a horizontal position on a surface:
to lie on a beach
-lie, lied, lied-deceive
Can't you see that she is lying to you.
