'Laying' is the present participle of 'lay' and as such is a transitive verb. That means that it must have an object, whether stated or implied. For example: 'My hens have been laying very few eggs recently.' 'He was laying the table for dinner a few minutes ago.' 'The president will be laying down her power at the end of her term of office.' 'They are laying odds of 5 to 1 on that horse.' 'The hens are laying well' (the object 'eggs' is understood). 'I'm laying on that horse to win in this race' (the object 'a bet' is understood). 'We are just laying her on the bed till she feels better.' 'Laying' should not be confused with 'lying', which is intransitive. For example: 'She was lying on the bed till she felt better', not 'She was laying on the bed till she felt better.'
I'm lying on my bed.
Lying down is for a person: You are lying down.Laying down is for an object: You are laying the pen downThere are many such verbs in English, where the transitive form of the verb may resemble the preterite of the intransitive form. For example fall and fell, sit and set, lie and lay. A lumberjack falls down, but he fells trees for a living; he sits down, but he sets his glass down on a table; and he lies down, but he lays his bed on the ground.Confusion between lie/lay may be due to the popular old (scary) nursery rhyme "Now I lay me down to sleep..." in which "me" = myself, and serves as a direct object of the transitive verb lay. This has led to the common error I lay down instead of I lie down.
