[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's lying, not laying. You lie in bed today, you lay in bed yesterday. Lay is the past tense of lie. Probably around age 5. [/quote] you are correct, but it's a very incomplete lesson if you don't also explain that lay is the transitive verb, and lie is the non-transitive. it just also so happens that lay is the past tense of the non-transitive lie, and laid is the past tense of the transitive. meanwhile, laid is the past perfect transitive, while lain is the past perfect non-transitive. OP - We never did that with our kids, other than for maybe reading a book or two. [/quote] Do you think the OP understands any of that? People have completely given up on the distinction.[/quote] Now, why would you say that?[/quote]
