Which is correct when describing someone laying down: layed or lied???

Phew!  See how much of a toughie this one is?\n\nIf you are talking about placing something down, the verb is "lay".  If you are talking about being in a reclining position, the verb is "lie".  The problem is that the past tense of "lie" is "lay", while the past tense of the verb "lay" is "laid".\n\nSo, here are some examples:\nI lie in bed until 10:00 or 11:00 every morning.\nThe dog lay at the foot of the bed the whole night.\nI will lay the books you need on the table.\nHe laid out his clothes the night before the big event.\n\nThese days, because of the similarities in these verbs, people are obviously very confused, so it's more or less up for grabs; people don't really seem to misunderstand.  I hope this helps!

I can't really see why a person would say, "I kinda got a new job" unless they're trying to hide what they're currently doing or were promoted/demoted and do not want to talk about it.\n\n"I kinda thought you were awake" might mean, in certain contextses, "I thought you were awake and just pretending to be asleep. Sorry!"

The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.\n(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

You wouldn't be lieing if it was the truth in the first place, but if you lied in the first place then you'd be lieing. But the lie about the truth was a lie and so they may not believe that the truth about the lie about the truth was true or not, because you did lie before.

is it better to say, "That is something I will not put up with". OR "That is something up with which I will not put."\n\nI heard it is the latter even though it sounds strange, it is grammatically correct.\n\nOr you can always talk about HAMLET. It is hard to say anything novel but if you say you have a theory that maybe  his girlfriend was the victim of foul play and not suicide, it may intrigue her. \n( this is my personal opinion) I always wanted to write a missing act to the play that explains why she turns up dead in the river.\n\nOr talk about how it was NOT a tragedy that Hamlet died because he was contemplating suicide anyway, so at least he killed his enemies first.( to be or not to be, that is the question.)\nhe was thinking about killing himself but was scared because he thought it may be worse than life( more suffering)

If A were lying, the horse would be black, which would mean B and C were lying as well. The answer is clearly not "A is lying".\n\nIf B were lying, the horse would be black, which would mean that A and C were lying as well. The answer is clearly not "B is lying".\n\nNow that we have eliminated the possibilities that A and B are lying, and we know that there is at least one liar and one truth-teller, we can say with certainty that C is lying and (from what we saw earlier) A and B are the truth-tellers. So we know the following:\n\n1. The horse is not black.\n2. The horse is either brown or grey.\n3. The horse is NOT brown.\n\nStatements 2 and 3 together tell us that the horse is, indeed, grey.

As honestly as possible.  If there were uncomfortable circumstances, then politely decline to answer. It's best NOT to lie, because lies can get found out.

The most reliable way to distinguish "lay" from "lie" is this:\n"Lay" takes an object. \n"Lie" does not take an object. \nWhat does mean for a verb to"take an object?"\nlay -- She laid the book on the table.\nlie -- He plans to lie on the grass all afternoon. ("On the grass" is where, not what, he plans to lie.")\nThe first way to distinguish "lay" and "lie" is to ask, "Does this verb take an object?" -- meaning, does it act upon something?\nIf you "lay the book on the table," then "book" is the object of your action, "lay." What do you lay? The book.\nBut if you lie "on the grass," that does not make "grass" the object of "lie." You do not "lie the grass," you "lie," and "on the grass" is where you lie. What do you lie? Well, nothing. "You" lie.\nTo determine whether a verb takes an object, ask "what?" after the verb, and see if there is a "what."\nThe distinction between "transitive" and "intransitive" helps you learn to distinguish "lay" from "lie."\n"Lay" always takes an object:\n"I lay the book on the table."\n"Lie" never takes an object:\n"I think I'll lie on the bed."\nLie: I lie (down), you lie, he (she or it) lies, we lie, you lie, they lie.\nLay: I lay (something down), you lay, he (she or it) lays, we lay, you lay, they lay.\nThe next reason we have difficulty with these verbs is that many people substitute "lay" for "lie" when they talk. They say:\nIncorrect: "I think I'll lay down for a nap"\nwhen standard English would have us say (or write):\nCorrect: "I think I'll lie down for a nap."\nIt is common to hear the same error in the past tense:\nIncorrect: "I laid down for a nap yesterday."\nwhen standard English would have us say (or write):\nCorrect: "I lay down for a nap yesterday."\nSimilarly, people sometimes say\nIncorrect: "I had laid there for an hour,"\nwhen the correct form is,\nCorrect: "I had lain there for an hour."\nYou have to train yourself to recognize that a few commonly heard (and read) expressions are incorrect.\nLearn when "lay down" is incorrect and replace it with "lie down."\nThe same goes for the past tense: Learn when to replace "laid down" with "lay down" and "have laid down" with "have lain down."\nHere's a chart showing the corrections you may need to learn to make:\nNon-standard (incorrect)\nI'll lay down now.\nHe laid down for a nap yesterday.\nHe was laying there at noon.\nHe has laid there all afternoon. \n\nStandard (correct)\nI'll lie down now.\nHe lay down for a nap yesterday.\nHe was lying there at noon.\nHe has lain there all afternoon.

If you are telling the truth, then the statement, "Everything I tell you is a lie," is a lie itself.  If you are lying, then the statement would actually be true...which brings us back to you telling the truth.  It's all just one big circle that never, ever ends!

If someone tells you they're a liar,than you can't believe them but if they're liars and tell you they're lying than they must be telling you the truth but they can't tell the truth so they must be lying.\nSo the answer is no.
