Don't quote me on that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it's lie if you're in present tense. You can remember by saying "lovers lie in bed." A fun little thing. To lie is to recline. To lay is to put the book, or whatever, down. And, there is no past tense of lie (to recline) that ends in -d. So, I lay is the past tense. I have lain. But you wrote, sometimes I lay. Sometimes is ongoing, so I have no idea. I guess I'd say lie because it's not past tense. How unhelpful can I be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924313029169385920.post-89668876300775742602008-02-13T23:47:00.000-05:002008-02-13T23:47:00.000-05:00Lauri, I agree completely!
