Lie or Lay? This is one of the hardest skills in the 7 th grade English core. If you master this concept, you are ready for 8 th grade!!!

????????Problems????????? 1.There are too many definitions for the two words. 2.The words are confusing because the past tense of one is the same as the other word. 3.People say it wrong, so you think you are saying it right when you are not. 4.This is one you have to memorize. Sorry!!!!

Lie (Definition 1) Something that misleads or deceives. It is a noun.

Example “I cannot tell a lie. I cut down the cherry tree!!!”

Lie (Definition 2) To make an untrue statement. It is a verb. It is happening now.

Example “Pinnochio, if you lie to me, your nose will grow!!!”

If you told a lie, you lied to me. “I cannot believe Pinnochio lied to me!!!”

Lie (Definition 3) To be at rest in a horizontal position. It is a verb. It is happening now.

Example “I like to lie in the sun when I go on vacation.”

If you already did it, you lay down. “I lay in the sun until I got sunburned!”

Lay (Definition 1) To put or set down an object or thing that cannot lie down by itself – a baby, the dishes, a golf ball, etc. It is a verb. It is happening now, in the present.

Example “Tiffany, please lay the baby in her crib.”

If you already put it down, you laid it down. “Mom, I laid my homework on the table and the dog ate it.”
