How do you say lay down in past sense?

"Lay down" is past tense. Present tense would be "lie down." You would say, "I lie down on my bed right now," which is in the present, but "I lay down on my bed yesterday," which is in the past. The verb itself is "lie," meaning to recline. The verb "lay" means to place something somewhere. You might say, "I lay the book on the table right now" (present tense), but "I laid the paper on the floor yesterday."
