If there’s book on the couch, is it laying there or lying there?
If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. Native English speakers often mix these verbs up. Watch this video and you’ll never get confused again!
We’ll explain how ’lay’ is the past tense of lie (how weird is that?) and we’ll show you how ’lay’ is a transitive verb and ’lie’ is intransitive, and what that means in practice.
You’ll see examples in action that will help you get them right.
