Lie and Lay – they get their own slides!
• Lay" is a verb meaning to put or place something somewhere. It takes a direct object. Its principal parts are "lay," "laid," "laid," and "laying."
Examples: Every day I lay the book on the table. Yesterday I laid the book on the table. I have laid the book on the table many times. I am laying the book on the table right now
• In all these examples, the verb is a form of the word "lay," and the direct object is "book."

FREE HINT: If you're in doubt about whether to use "lay" or "lie," try substituting a form of the verb "place."
