Lay or Lie? English Grammar Explained #shorts

Lie is the argument that's used to deceive someone.

Lay is a salty chip, and it's my favorite.

Wow I’ve spoken fluent English since birth and it’s so crazy to see it taught like this, like I don’t think about past participes of words I just know them.

I’ve been learning Spanish for 9 years so I totally understand the reason behind why it’s taught it’s just interesting to me to see English this way.

To anyone learning English, you’re awesome and don’t give up!

Lay - laid - laid "to put something somewhere/ to produce egg "
Lie - lied - lied "to tell incorrect information"
Lie - lay - lain "to be horizontal or resting position"
That's all about

[nicoleisabelvillenabustill]

I had no idea that lay had to do with the horizontal position 😳. It felt eye opening. Thank you a lot for posting this videos! Your concise explanations help a huge lot 🙌🥰

One way to remember the difference between the two is that "lie" is an intransitive verb whereas "lay" is a transitive verb. Anyways, transitive verbs need an object while intransitive verbs don't.

I can't believe I've gone so long without knowing this

Lie also means an intentionally false statement. Verb: lie; 3rd person present: lies; past tense: lied; past participle: lied; gerund or present participle: lying

Wow I’ve been a native English speaker for 60 years and never knew that. Thank you!

[please_healtheworld]

The past simple and past participle forms of these two words are way too confusing. And I almost forgot about them. Thank you for clarifying it. I'll try harder to memorize it.
Lie -lay-lain
Lay-laid-laid
