Lay–Lie Difference
by Owen Fourie
How not to lie when you use lie, lay, lain, laid, laying, and lying
A tricky word family
If there is the possibility that a student might have a fever, we use a thermometer to find out. How someone uses lay and lie is a grammatical thermometer indicating the state of that person’s grammatical health.
It would be nice not to fuss about these things, but as long as there is a standard to measure right and wrong usage, your speaking and writing will be measured by that standard, so why not get it right?
Wrong usage of lie and lay is often heard in speech, so we’ll consider this in the Speaking English category, but it does occur in writing too.
In the following sentences, see if you can choose the correct word and check below to see if you have chosen correctly:
- I am so sleepy; I need to lay/lie on the couch now.
- I was so sleepy yesterday that I laid/lay there for a long time.
- I have laid/lain here for the past three days.
- I am laying/lying on the couch now.
- I must lie/ lay my tools on the workbench now.
- I lay/ laid the hammer on the workbench yesterday.
- I have lain/laid the tape measure on the workbench.
- I am lying/ laying a chisel there too.
A trick that will help you to know if you are using the right word
- Ask yourself this question: Does this word describe the subject putting something somewhere, or is it describing the subject at rest or intending to rest somewhere?
- What you need to understand is that the word lay is active. When you use it, it needs to affect something. It needs a direct object;
- The word lie is restful, keeping to itself and not doing anything to anybody. It does not take a direct object;
- Remember that the quiet lying-down words are lie, lay, lain, and lying;
- Remember that the active putting-down-something words are lay, laid, laid, laying.
The correct choices for the sentences above
- I am so sleepy; I need to lie on the couch now.
- I was so sleepy yesterday that I lay there for a long time.
- I have lain here for the past three days.
- I am lying on the couch now.
- I must lay my tools on the workbench now.
- I laid the hammer on the workbench yesterday.
- I have laid the tape measure on the workbench.
- I am laying a chisel there too.
Think about this
It is not correct to say to someone, “Go and lay down!”
- Lay is active. It requires a direct object;
- Whoever is being told to do this, would be correct to ask, “Lay down what?”
- The correct command is “Go and lie down!” Lie is restful. It does not require a direct object.
Confusion happens because there is a restful lay and an active lay:
- The restful lay is the past tense of lie;
- The active lay is the present tense of the active lay.
Notice too that there are two uses of laid:
- It is the past tense of the active lay;
- It is also the past participle of the active lay.
Now, about those lies I have been telling you …
I lie to you regularly.
I lied to you yesterday.
I have lied to you every day this week.
I am lying to you at this very moment.
Actually, I have told you the truth about the lay–lie difference.

English Essay Writing Tips
Some individuals are habituated to lying at a young age. A number of individuals lie in accordance with a situation that arises. If a lie becomes a habit, the truth always takes a back seat. Majority of the people lie often to ensure security. Not many individuals like listening to the truth which is why lies rule in various situations of our lives. A lie is often spoken for personal gain. In many situations people lie for fun. Some individuals get a cheap thrill out of lies. Such folks get an adrenalin rush every time they see a person’s expressions
when they utter a lie.
While there are different types of liars, the ones we encounter in everyday life could be compulsive liars, pathological liars, carefree liars, sociopathic liars, occasional liars, and white liars. Every type of liar displays certain behavioral traits. Individuals that speak white lies do not consider themselves liars. These liars love to justify their lie with reasons that are often unreasonable.
No matter how small a lie, words that are not the truth can only be a lie. Intentions may differ with people when they lie. Devious lies are spoken with bad intentions, with the hope false words will work in favor or what is envisioned or planned. Individuals that plan, scheme, and plot against others blatantly lie to achieve what they desire. Lies by such individuals are often used to give other individuals false impressions that could lead to a turn of events. We come across liars everywhere. The highest number of lies a person speaks is at the workplace. In an environment where every individual wants to climb the ladder, lies are spoken way too often.
A lie may be spoken to show an individual in good light or to tarnish a person’s image. The majority of lies we come across in various situations are white lies. A liar may use different lies in accordance with situations encountered. The debate in regard with who lies more, men or women goes on. However, the fact remains that most men lie at every opportunity that benefits them, women on the other hand go over the top with lies at gossip sessions and when rumors are doing the rounds.

В этой статье расскажем о правилах употребления глаголов to say, to tell, to speak и to talk, а также объясним, в чем между ними разница.
На английский язык глагол «говорить» можно перевести несколькими способами: to speak, to say, to tell и to talk. Чтобы понять, какое слово и в какой ситуации уместно употреблять, нужно знать разницу между этими глаголами.

IELTS Lesson – Part 3 – Describing Changes
This week’s Part 3 Question Type is about ‘Describing Changes’.
Watch the video below to learn a useful grammar tip and sentence pattern than can help you describe changes!
Here is the language pattern again:
- [Subj.] + have / has become + (comparative) adjective
- Technology has become cheaper than ever before.
- English has become more important all over the world.
- Elderly people have become healthier thanks to modern medicine.
The present perfect shows that the changes have happened gradually over a longer period of time.
The comparative adjectives shows that the current state of the change is more expensive / healthier / better / faster than before.
- In your country, have people’s eating habits changed in recent years?
“A lot of people have become more conscious about factory farming.”
“Vegetarianism has definitely become more popular than ever before.”
- How have cities changed in your country in the last 20 years?
“Most major cities have become more expensive nowadays.”
“Pollution has become more serious every year.”
- How has technology affected the way news spreads?
“News updates have become faster than ever before.”
“Fake news has become harder to spot than many people expected.”
You can read even more about Describing Changes in my Part 3 Question Type post here: https://wp.me/p8VGd6-1j3
There’s no doubt that our world has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. A lot of those changes have come from technology. So if you get a question about technology, the internet, or social media, you have a good chance to use this language structure.
Let’s apply this to this week’s topic: The Truth & Lying
- Can we trust news on the internet?
“I suppose it depends on where you get your news from, because I believe that most major newspapers and their websites run stories that are truthful and trustworthy. But I think social media has become much worse over the last few years, because people share and spread fake news just to get attention and ‘likes’. So I think news on sites like Facebook has become less reliable than ever before, and that’s why I stick to news sources I can trust.”
- Do you agree that many people exaggerate how good their lives are because of social media?
“I would agree with that, yes, because some people definitely do. Social media has become a bigger part of people’s lives, and it has become more important in how people measure their own popularity or self-worth. So that means that people might embellish or exaggerate how fun or exciting their lives are, just to get more likes and maintain the illusion that they are interesting people.”
———
“I can never think of any ideas.”
“I can’t find the right IELTS vocabulary anywhere.”
Are you having any of these problems?
If you’re struggling with vocabulary and ideas for your IELTS Speaking answers, you can find HUNDREDS more high-band example answers (written and recorded by me) to help you tackle any IELTS Speaking Topic you might encounter.
This week in fact, I’ve just uploaded the 300th example answer to the library! With hundreds more to come!

IELTS Vocabulary and Levelled Reading
Read these 2 levels of about ‘Truth & Lies’. Every level becomes more difficult but every level has the same meaning. The new words are highlighted, so if you don’t understand a word in Level 2, look back at Level 1 to find the easier synonym! This is a great way to learn new vocabulary!
Level 1: Basic Level 2: Advanced
IELTS Question #1: Can you suggest why people tell lies?
- Level 1:”Generally speaking, I suppose most people, including children and adults, tell lies to avoid punishment. For example, an office worker might not hear their alarm and be late for work, but then lie about the traffic. Kids do the same thing, if they break something in the house, they might blame one of their siblings to avoid getting into trouble. Another reason could be to avoid hurting someone else’s feelings by telling ‘white lies’. Like if their friend or partner is wearing and ugly outfit, they can tell them it looks great, so they don’t feel embarrassed or sad.”
- Level 2:
“Generally speaking, I suppose most people, including children and adults, tell lies to escape punishment. For example, an office worker might miss their alarm and be late for work, but then use the traffic as an excuse. Kids do the same thing, if they break something in the house, they might lay the blame on one of their siblings to get out of trouble. Another reason could be to spare someone else’s feelings, by telling ‘white lies’. Like if their friend or significant other is wearing an ugly outfit, they can tell them it looks great, so they don’t feel embarrassed or upset.”
IELTS Question #2: Why is it sometimes easier to tell the truth to strangers than to close friends?
- Level 1:
For the most part, I would say that telling the truth to strangers is easier because there are no real consequences. In other words, what you tell them in unlikely to cause problems again in the future, because the stranger isn’t in your social circle, so the news can’t spread and maybe hurt your relationships. Some other people may want to admit the truth without being judged, which can be a relief for them, and could help them figure out what to do next. So those are some reasons that come to mind.
- Level 2:
For the most part, I would say that opening up to strangers is easier because there are no real repercussions (conseq.). In other words, what you tell them is unlikely to come back and bite you, because the stranger isn’t in your social circle, so the news can’t spread and potentially (maybe) damage your relationships. Some other people may want to get something off their chest without being judged, which can be a relief for them and could help them figure out what to do next. So those are some reasons that come to mind.

What’s the difference between «lie / fool / deceive»?
Do I understand correctly that:
Lie = only word (spoken)
Fool = word & action
Deceive = word & action but formal?
Can you give me some examples?
Thanks in advance.
Ответы · 2
Your understanding does provide the basics but here are some examples.
«You said you liked pie but when I gave you some you didn’t eat it. Did you lie (to me) about liking pie?»
The verb «lie» can be used with or without and object. When used with «about» it expresses the event that spoken falsely. When used with «to» it expresses who was told a lie.
«It looks like gold but you can’t fool me. I know pyrite when I see it.»
«Slight of hand are magic tricks that deceive viewers into believing something false.»
«Fool and deceive» are synonyms that require a direct object. You have to say who was fooled or deceived.
The word «lie» does not require the same rules so the three words are not interchangeable. However, you can usually interchange «fool» and «deceive» though «deceive» is a little stronger than «fool». If you fool someone it is usually something funny or minor such as a prank. When you deceive someone the event is usually more serious but you can see in my example that it doesn’t have to be something serious.
Lie= not telling the truth (i lied when i said i didnt take the last biscuit)
Fool= is like to deceive but less sinister, its basically to trick someone (a magician fools the audience)
Deceive= like fool but can be more sinister (the man deceived me and stole all my money) generally fool and deceive are interchangeable except you wouldnt really use deceive in a fun way (you wouldnt say «the clown deceived the children with his card trick»)

Straight up no word of a lie
Basically, a long way of saying that something is true. Especially funny if you can get an adult, especially a teacher to say it because it makes them sound like they’re trying to be hip. Can also be used in question form (e.g. 2)
Example 1
Person 1) I’ve finished everything.
Person 2) Really?
Person 1) Straight up no word of a lie
Example 2
Person 1) I’ve finished everything.
Person 2) Straight up no word of a lie?
Person 1) Hell yeah!

Listener

Иван Балашов
Listener стартовали в далеком 2002-м как хип-хоп-проект Дэна Смита. Со временем звучание ужесточилось до такой степени, что Смита позвали записывать гостевой вокал для металкорщиков The Chariot, а сама группа выступала на разогреве у The Dillinger Escape Plan на недавно прошедших в России концертах.
Инструментал у Listener довольно агрессивный, отдаёт кантри-мотивами, а безумные участники делают каждую песню не слёзным рассказом о несчастной любви, а эмоциональной декларацией лучшего друга в баре под очередную пинту пива.
Лу Рид

Лу Рид и его группа The Velvet Underground в своё время вдохновили невероятное количество музыкантов и тем самым повлияли на развитие рока. Например, о сильном влиянии Лу Рида на своё творчество говорил Дэвид Боуи.
Лу был в составе The Velvet Underground с 1964 по 1970 год, а после ухода из группы начал сольную карьеру. Он принял участие в песне Tranquilize группы The Killers, записал вместе с Gorillaz песню Plastic Beach и даже выпустил совместный альбом с Metallica!
Конечно, он выпускал и собственные альбомы. Наиболее необычный и несомненно заслуживающий внимания — The Raven, записанный в жанре spoken word. Главное в нём то, что он основан на рассказах Эдгара Аллана По. Так что скачивайте все 36 (!) песен, закрывайте глаза и погружайтесь в атмосферу.
Hotel Books

Hotel Books обязательно понравятся любителям концептуализма. Кемерон Смит – единственный бессменный участник группы и её лицо – знает в этом толк. Например, песни July и August объединяет один общий клип, а для песни Lose One Friend существует своего рода парная композиция — Lose All Friends.
«Люди приходят и люди уходят. Некоторые приходят навестить, а другие просто потусить. И это моя книга поэм», — объясняет Кемерон название группы. Однако «люди приходят и люди уходят» — это не только про жизнь Смита, но и про саму группу. В последнем туре Hotel Books, например, за инструментал отвечали участники металкор-группы Convictions.
Дискография Hotel Books насчитывает уже 4 альбома, поэтому каждый сможет найти для себя новую любимую песню среди всего их разнообразия.
ДК

ДК – советская группа, созданная в 1980 году. Название ей дал Сергей Жариков – создатель, идеолог и руководитель группы. ДК не стеснялись экспериментировать со звучанием и жанрами. Они первопроходцы российской экспериментальной музыки, творившие не только в жанре spoken word, но и авангарде, психоделическом роке, арт-панке, блюз-роке и еще множестве интересных жанров.
В 1984 году на Жарикова завели уголовное дело, а его группе, соответственно, запретили любые публичные выступления. Несомненно, это серьёзно сказалось на популярности ДК среди широких масс. Но всё же в музыкальных кругах они были группой известной и даже оказали сильное влияние на творчество Егора Летова (как на Гражданскую оборону, так и на проект Коммунизм), а также на группу Сектор Газа.

Canadian Softball – это вымышленная группа комика и музыканта Джаррода Алонжа, известного своими пародиями на рокеров и рок-группы. В 2015 году он выпустил альбом Beating a Dead Horse, в записи которого «участвовали» семь различных групп. На самом деле все семь групп были выдуманы комиком. Каждая группа пародировала определённый жанр. Звучание Canadian Softball, в частности, напоминало об эмо-группах поздних 1990-х — ранних 2000-х.
Состояла эта группа из самого Алонжа, вокалиста и гитариста, бассиста Уилла Грини и барабанщика/бэк-вокалиста Энди Конвэя. В альбоме у этой группы была только одна песня: The Distance Between You and Me is Longer Than the Title of this Song. Как видите, даже её название носит пародийный характер.
Позднее группа представила еще несколько песен, а 28 июля обещает выпустить альбом. В общем, дела у пародийной выдуманной группы идут даже лучше, чем у некоторых реально существующих артистов.
