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 ?http://www.englishforums.com/English/LayOrLiePastTense/gwrgl/post.htm#540546Sat, 23 May 2009 12:07:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:540546RayH1http://www.englishforums.com/English/LayOrLiePastTense/gwrgl/post.htm#540546http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-540546.xmlThis site looks like it has a pretty thorough explanation. http://hubpages.com/hub/Lay-Lie-Sit-Sethttp://www.englishforums.com/English/LayOrLiePastTense/gwrgl/post.htmSat, 23 May 2009 12:07:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:540543Cute5722http://www.englishforums.com/English/LayOrLiePastTense/gwrgl/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-540543.xml1. I lay down on that long chair and let myself go. 2. I lay 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. Thanks!
