I thought that was the case but was not sure.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LieLay/zmlr/post.htm#28223Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:51:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:28223Orpheus1http://www.englishforums.com/English/LieLay/zmlr/post.htm#28223http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-28223.xml'where my preferences lie' would be the correct way to say it. 'Lay' is a transitive verb so it has to have an object while 'lie' is not, it is intransitive and it has no object. You can, for example, lay a baby down on the bed (transitive) but we say 'She is lying on the beach' (intransitive). Hope this helps.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LieLay/zmlr/post.htmSun, 25 Jan 2009 19:51:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:28220Guest2http://www.englishforums.com/English/LieLay/zmlr/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-28220.xmlI need resolution regarding a grammar question in order to settle a dispute.
