These two verbs are often mis-used by even well-educated people. In a nutshell, in the present tense: * Lay means to put down or to place and it takes a direct object (Ex: Please lay the soup spoon on the table) * Lie means to be in a horizontal position or be situated and it DOES NOT take a direct object. (Ex: I just want to lie down and go to sleep.) * Lie also means to tell a falsehood, and it does not take a direct object. (Ex: Whenever someone asks me my age: I lie.) The confusion comes from the conjugation of these verbs. To give you examples in present, past, and perfect tense: Lay (lay, laid, laid): I lay spoons on the table. I laid spoons on the table. I have laid spoons on the table. Lie (lie, lay, lain): I need to lie down. I was tired so I lay down. I am comfortable now that I have laid down. Lie (lie, lied, lied): I lie about my age. When asked my age: I lied. I have lied about my age.
