Gossiping and lying go hand in hand.
He laid his hand on my shoulder during our discussion.
After thorough ironing, avoiding wrinkles, she carefully laid her stunning silk blouse👚 and skirt👗 on a valet stand.
I found this lesson interesting, useful, and common in everyday situations. I wanna applaud you for a job well done.👍😊
Thanks a lot!🙏
Before going to bed,🛏 she lays all of her books 📚📖underneath her pillow, hoping that all of the syllabuses will soak into her mind🧽 for the upcoming English exam. 😆🇬🇧
She laid her magnificent Persian carpet 🤩on the freshly painted room's floor after getting it cleaned by carpet cleaning professionals.
Even though I had two cups of coffee after lunch, the hot weather makes me drowsy. So I had to lie on my cozy sofa for a short rest.
Thank. You sir mike😊
There's a youtuber who said this: In today's modern Englisg, in America we USE "lay" instead of "lie" many times..." lay in bed". Actually there are some songs in which they use LAY instead of LIE: " I want to lay with you in the sea" (Song: truly, madly, deeply). Great video, Mike.
Yes. Some people learn them incorrectly. That does not make them right.
Thank you for this new lesson. ❤
You're welcome! Great examples!

Chompi thought that he had laid an egg, but actually it was an old lemon.😊😊
I like lying down on bed to watch your videos.😊😊
In this case, I would probably use "on my bed". "In bed" usually means that you are asleep, resting, sick, or not going anywhere anytime soon.
I've gotten it. Thanks a lot, Mike.😊😊
I'm lying on my bed and watching this lovely video.😊
Chompi doesn't lay eggs because he is male.
I love to lie on the grass in my garden.
I laid my clothes on my bed while Pinky was on my shoulder.😊

My hen laid a big egg yesterday.
I lay on the beach a few days ago.😊😊
Perfect.
Thanks, Mike.😊😁
Hi sir thanks for your explinations, sir is it possible for your excellency what the difference between "ever " and " always " is ,🙏🙏🌹🌹
Hi. I think I have one or two videos about different ways to use "ever". However, it's not similar to "always".
@@TeacherMikeEnglish HI, thank you sir I would review my notebook which is all related to your grammar lecture ,thank you for a taking a time for me • 🙏🙏
After returning home from the nearest gym, where she blew off steam, she laid on her favourite hammock to rest.
That one should be "lay".😀
@@TeacherMikeEnglishIndeed. ☺
This is very interesting for me because I wrote down "lay" correctly in my spiral-bound notebook. I have no idea how it changed to "laid" by the time I wrote down here. 😲😆
I think the scorching heat has made me feel harmful. 🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥🌞🌞🌞🌞
So the verb LAY always needs an object but the verb LIE does not need an object ?
And the three forms are really hard to remember! But after writing some examples with them , it will be easier.😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Yes. Exactly.
Lie/ lay/ lain/ lying
Lay/lied/ lied/ laying
😊
❤
❤❤❤
I lay down all day when I had a fever.
Joe's trousers laid on the sofa, but Mary's skirt laying on the chair yet. Tide up the room Kids! Lay out the wet clothes!
I don't lie in the sun because I get sunburned.
I always lay my tablet on my bed.😊😊
Don't lay my sunglasses on the floor.😊😊
Too late.😅
Yup. Hahaha.😆
I love lying in bed after a long day.😊😊
This difference is one of the top 5 most confusing situations in English for me :(
I think that's true for many people.
@@TeacherMikeEnglish Yes, also the word lie is meaning not to say right and also this makes things so mix and difficult too..i added this video on favorites

I am going to lay my laundry nicely. And I'll lie on my sofa to relax then.
With "lay", you are almost always going to have two objects. For example, "I'm going to lay my laundry nicely on my bed."
@@TeacherMikeEnglish Thanks a lot!
The hen laid an egg.🥚
Mike, what about this Lazy song by Bruno Mars?
Today I don't feel like doing anything,
I just wanna LAY in my bed...
He's using "lay" incorrectly, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
Come get me
He was laid to rest in the military graveyard. 🖤🪦💐
I think I'm going to lie down.
A chicken can lay eggs?
I don't understand the question.
She laid the baby in his cot. Don't bother your dad, he is lying in his bed after a hard day of work. Clear explanation, Teacher evnthoug the tow words are easy to confuse..
It is incredibly embarrassing that Americans need to be taught this basic concept despite being supposedly "native" speakers and having gone to school for so many years 🤦🏻♂. Moreover, that many songs and Hollywood movies/shows have scripts written with this mistake, and it passes through all the people and makes it to the final production! And to think that they're people in the comments defending the misuse!
On the other hand, "lie" can also mean to make a false statement with the intent to deceive.
"Telling lies can damage trust in relationships."🥹
