Cute572  +  540543 Sat, 12 Jul 08 10:46 PM 1. I lay down on that long chair and let myself go. 2. I lay [or use 3rd verb form of lie i.e lain here?] there with pateince and the pointing light covered my whole face.  I have two questions one already asked in brackets. In this First sentence lay i used as second forum of lie (lay,lain) which means to be in a horizontal position. But if i place Lay (lay,laid,laid) means to put or place some thing, the net dictionary point out its meaning: set down, rested upon So please help me to understand and set correct Lay use.

	Cute572  +  540555 Sat, 12 Jul 08 11:34 PM Thanks RayH! I was using laid to my ownself. After reading I came to know its difference.  I have small question not about this verb but basic grammer question. Do we always applied 3rd form of verb with (has,have,had) otherwise not in the sentence ?  Cute572 Verbs, Tenses, Past Tenses
