What is the correct way of saying I laid down?

The answer involves the difference between the verbs lieand lay. Lie is the correct verb to describe putting yourself in a horizontal position, as in "lie down". Lay is a transitive verb (used with an object) and is used for placing or positioning something, as in "lay a book on the table".The present, past, and past participle forms of "lie" are lie, lay, and lain. The present, past, and past participle forms of "lay" are lay, laid, and laid. If the question is about lying down (to rest or to sleep), the correct form is "I lay down." It is worth mentioning that incorrect usage of lay instead of lie (as in "I laid down") is very common.
