Wondering when to use lie vs. lay?

Should we say someone is “laying down” or “lying down”?

And what about lied, laid, and lain?

It can be so confusing, especially for students learning English!

Today we’ll learn the difference between lay and lie, as well as all of their forms, with plenty of examples. My goal is to make it clear for you.

That’s also why I wrote an e-book called 600+ Confusing English Words Explained! It’s full of clear explanations and examples helping you understand the difference between words that lots of English learners mix up - like specially and especially, advice and advise, and many, many more.

I'm doing research on the English "Lie With" as found in the book of Leviticus. It appears that "Lie With" in the Hebrew (shakab) means 'forced down', coercion, rape. I have found a few other verses that uses this word (shakab) and (mishkab). Thanks!

Hi Shayna, how's it goin' ?.
Excellent explanation Shayna, I don't wanna seem a wise guy or arrogant but I already knew that but it doesn't hurt to go over it just in case I might forget it. Thanks for the video Shayna and thanks for reading my comment. 👍.

It's difficult to watch television these days because it seems the entire population of the coutry thinks that humans "lay" down. Lol. I don't know why but it's such a pet peve of mine that people will say "I was laying on the ground" or "I will lay down."
Frustrating, lol.
People do not "lay" - we "lie" That is, unless you have a direct object.
However, you can get laid, lol.
Thanks for the video.
