JBJ Class

Lay/Lie


Quick Tip:
"Lay" needs a thing (a direct object), just like "set" and "raise."  It might help to remember this rhyme:
You SAY something.  You LAY something.
Longer Explanation:
  • "Lay" is what you do to something else:
    "Lay your book down."  [The book doesn’t lay itself down, right?]
  • "Lie" is something you do yourself, (like "sit" and "rise").  Notice they all have an "i" in the middle.
    You sit down, and you lie down.  
  • If you say "I’m going to go lay down," I'll ask you "Really, are you going to lay an egg or what?"  You have to lay down a thing.

We're doing things differently this time.  We'll practice together during class and then take a quiz on Monday over everything we did this week.
