'Lie' is correct.\n\n'Lie' is an intransitive verb, meaning that the action is not being transferred to something else; it does not take a direct object. 'Lay' is transitive, meaning that the action is transferred to something else; it does take a direct object. So 'lie' is used to mean 'recline,' while 'lay' is used to mean 'put.' One 'puts' something somewhere. 'Put' is always used with a direct object; so is 'lay.'\nExample 1: He lies on the bed. (no direct object)\nExample 2: He lays a pillow on the bed. (pillow is the direct object)\nThe confusion, though, arises when using the past tense. 'Lay' is the past tense form of 'lie.'\nExample 3: He lay on the bed. (no direct object)\nExample 4: He laid a pillow on the bed. (pillow is the direct object)\n\nHope this helps!

Hmm not sure but how old is your daughter?  I would think trying to make a sentence that loops around itself and makes sense is abit much for someone that is still using "spelling words".  Could be wrong though as basing it on my own education where we had a tin of words to practice in infants school :o)\n\nSure it doesn't just mean a full sentence?  Like string a sentence together?

someone and I.\n\nI'll use a name for an example.  Rob and I went to the store.  If you take "rob" out of the sentence, it still makes sense so its right.  It would be "I went to the store"

he's lying.\n1) assuming the man is telling the truth, then the sentence "everything i say to u is a lie" is to be believed. so he IS lying.\n2) assuming the man is lying, then the sentence "everything i say to u is a lie" is a lie itself. So he IS still lying.

I was taught a simple way to know which is correct.  Say the sentence without the other person's name. As in: "Me & Kathy went to the store" becomes: "Me went to the store." Obviously "Me" is incorrect.  Another: "It was a secret known only by me & Kathy". Becomes: "It was a secret known only to me". In this case "me" is correct.\nThis works every time!

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.

Lie means to "recline or rest on a surface." Lay means "to put or place something." Lie is an intransitive verb and cannot take a direct object: "The tax forms lie on the table." The verb lay is transitive and takes a direct object: "Please lay the tax forms on the table. When using the present participle form of the verb (was/were + the verb), "lying" is the usage you are looking for:\n\nMy grandmother's letters were lying on the table.
