What else can I help you with?
When do you use lay in a sentence and when do you use lie?
"LIE" is intransitive (has no direct object, can't be done to something else), meaning to be in a state of rest. If you go to bed, you lie down. Past tense is "lay" (yes, confusing), as in "he lay there for several seconds before breathing"; perfect tense is "lain", as in "he had lain there for quite some time". "LAY" is transitive (requires a direct object, can be done to something else), meaning to set something down. That's why they say "lay me down to sleep" because "me" is the object. You lay down the carpeting, but lie down on the carpet. Past and perfect tenses are both "laid"- "he laid his guns down" and "they had already laid the foundation before the contractors arrived". Just for more confusion with these two words: "they laid down the carpet and then lay on it afterward." [And of course, "lie" also means to tell something that is not true past and perfect tenses are both "lied".]
