What is the correct grammar for the following sentence i laid in the sun?

I lay in the sun. (The verb in this sentence is intransitive, meaning it does not have an object, so you should use the past tense of the verb to lie, which is lay. The similar-meaning verb to lay, the past tense of which is laid, is a transitive verb, so the subject of the sentence would need to lay something "in the sun.")
