    Explanation

    lie (present,)  lay (past) and lain (past participle). lay (present), laid (past) and laid (past participle).      • Lie means that the actor (subject) is doing something to himself or herself. He is lying on the table.      • Lay, on the other hand, means that the subject is acting on something or someone else; (As I walk past, I lay the tools on the workbench.) Therefore, LAY requires a complement to make sense. Thus lay always takes a direct object. Lie never does.
