What's a memorable way to tell the difference between when to use 'lie' and 'lay'?

We Answered:

Very good question... and I am going to be watching this question for answers... if no one gives any that are good, I'll see if I can find out by asking some of my very super smart friends (the ones with Master's Degrees and P.H.D's) and see if they can give me something to share with you, they're pretty cleaver!

Something to read in the meantime. :)

Here’s how to keep them straight. Lay is a transitive verb—it takes an object. Lay and its principal parts (laid, laid, laying) are correctly used in the following examples: She lays down her pen and stands up. He laid (not lay) the newspaper on the table. The table was laid for four. Lie is an intransitive verb and cannot take an object. Lie and its principal parts (lay, lain, lying) are correctly used in the following examples: She often lies (not lays) down after lunch. When I lay (not laid) down, I fell asleep. The rubbish had lain (not laid) there a week. I was lying (not laying) in bed when he called.
There are a few exceptions to these rules. The phrasal verb lay for and the nautical use of lay, as in lay at anchor, though intransitive, are standard.

Hope that helps, and hope you understood it better than I did. I've never seemed to have a problem with those words in any sentence, but I guess it's because I'm so used to everyone speaking properly around me! ;)

Please help me study for my english?

We Answered:

I'm not really sure exactly what your teacher wants, but it sounds like maybe:
1. For one, the menu with all its strange dishes is always amusing.
2.? maybe leave out "with all its ingredients" as this does not seem necessary?
3. Also, many dishes, like braised broccoli, are actually good for you.
4. Good for you or not, a salad of ........does not get many takers.
5. there are not many orders for........
6. Maybe even your school lunch sounds better to you than the food at the daft cafe.

2. Which sentence is correct?

Jen's family walked its dog.

OR

The McCluskys enjoyed their evening meal.

[[[I would say they're both correct. It is a matter of opinion. Some particularly crazy English teachers insist that "family" is plural, which would make the first option wrong. On the other hand, other crazy English teachers would say "family" is singular, and "McClusky" should be "McCluskies" in the plural form, making the second option wrong. Personally, I think the safer bet for the right answer is the second option.]]]
