For well over 25 years I have been getting confused with "lie" and "lay". Thank God for your explanation, now I am out of it. Please keep going.
arent u english or american ? ur name look like anglo-sakson.. u dont even know ur own language.. im turkish.. how can i learn this lang.. ?
This is one of the most amazing grammar classes ever. Well and simply explained, especially considering the level of difficulty and confusion of the topic. Great explanation.
Great
I am a native English, Arabic and French speaker. I had lived in England for two decades before moving to Europe, but continued to practice English just like a native speaker does. I recently decided to sit the IELTS Academic test and scored an impressive 9 out of 9. Despite all of that, I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of “I have lain in bed” before watching your extremely informative presentation. Thank you so much for this video. I guess you can learn a new thing every day!
9 out of 9 . Wow 😳
I've always had problem with these two verbs. Appreciate your effort.
Yes, native English speakers get these two verbs mixed up all the time. It is worth noting that the past participle "lain" is seldom used; even in conversation. I personally try to express the past tense of "to lie" by using a completely different expression. "I stayed in my bed (instead of "lay") or "I have been in a hammock before (instead of "lain").
Actually only Americans. But they are influencing the rest of the world.
I'm a native speaker and this was helpful. It's shocking how much you can forget about the parts of speech and grammar over time. Thanks!
are u an american fella?
IanCaine4728 Hi I'm a PhD student, I need to Talk English more than before.
If you want to join me I'll be so glad.
My phone number is +989353803431, we can touch in whats App
I've never seen a teacher like you!!
You are awesome, I completely understand every single thing you explain, all the time!!!
Thank you dear friend, you helped me to explain to my daughter who is 10 years old. Bless you.
"Lay" is transitive; "lie" intransitive. This is from a linguistic point of view :)
Do not mislead people! LAY is intransitive and LIE is transitive!!!
We were taught in first semester in linguistics major as you mentioned and never will confuse them. There are rise and rase termins also which has the same rule
D wer Please comment on the following sentence (legal) with regard to “lie”:
“An appeal shall not lie from an order refusing review or confirming on review a previous order.”
@@dianapopiel4147, to lay is transitive and to lie is intransitive. It has something to do with the causativity. The causative verb of to lie is to lay as in to rise is to raise.
@@dianapopiel4147 Lay comes with an object, so it's transitive.
Thanks for your wonderful lesson, Emma. I had difficulty mastering these two verbs, but after watching this lesson I was able to understood it clearly.
Once again, thanks for helping to improve our English language skills. You're such a talented and thoughtful teacher whom I really admire her teaching technique.
On modern English people use those two verbs the same, and the past and past participle is ''laid'' for both.
Lie (not telling the truth) the past is lied, she's right on that one. Lain is obsolete.
Watch the video on ENGLISH FOR EVERYONE.
I am very grateful to Ms. Emma for all her teaching. Her lecture was very clear and professional. She is the greatest teacher. Thank you so much.
You're so easy to understand Emma! From now on you're my favorite teacher ♥
Awesome lesson, Emma! This is one of my biggest pet peeves with grammar. Haha.
so cute you support each other as coworkers, you are a great teacher too...
that's So cool!
Both are amazing Teachers....and I guess friends also😇😇😇
English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid)
Theres also some with some ppl named Jill (or gill) and ronnie. i was looking 4 grammar things cause my teacher doesnt teach.
yes, im currently too lazy to write down actual words
English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid) haha so cute thank ypu so much guys for helping us to correct and enhance our grammar and pronunciation:) :)
I´ll lay this lesson in my brain in order to never forget it.
Waldecy Bräsil and try to lie on bed revising the difference between them :D
I don't want to lay this lesson as a written lecture on my table only. It is one of the most valuable lecture. I have to imagine it even though I lie in my bed. I have incorrectly lied on my papers many more times because of having confusing concept. Thanks a lot.
"Away in a manger
No crib for a bed ;
The little Lord Jesus LAID down His sweet head."
Well ,I was reminded of these lines as I listened to the presentation. There may be many more from literature and KJV.
To enhance the interest of viewers you may give illustrations from a few passages.
Thank you.🌹 Keep up the good work.
Very nice teacher, I just remembered of the part: "Spartans! Lay down your weapons! ", from the movie 300. Thank you.
"I lie all the time. It's not true, that was a lie" That is a paradox Emma XD
Dung Tran Very good... Lied Lied haha!
No it isn't a paradox, because lying one particular time doesn't mean that you lie all the time. A paradox would only be if you stated: I never tell the truth
Ikr it has two meaning tho. 🤕🤕 so it isn't exactly true as Emma said it's not true 😁😁
The best class about verbs " to lie and to lay" I have already learned until now.
Goodday Emma, speak english like you is one of my goals. You're the best teacher ever
Lovely EmmaIt's 10 o'clock in the evening. I'm lying in my bed now after laying my homework papers on my desk.
There are a number of other videos on English grammar and many of them by native speakers. I also teach English grammar (through Hindi). I must admit that your teaching skills are better than those of many of us.
Thanks and regards

Tell me man (no way) means Proly impossible or interesting? i hopefully answer
Thanks
@@starsimmer4556 The expression, "No way", is usually used when someone finds something interesting, but also shows a little disbelief in the person who is telling the story.
Another GREAT resource for those interested in English is a piece titled Mark's English Grammar Shortcuts - absolutely spot on .
This is why “Now I LAY ME down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep” makes sense.
I'm a native English speaker but I've never heard of 'lain'. :p Thanks for the clear lessons!
Jeremy Ng please, help us! give us some tips as native speaker hahaha
Because knowing the past perfect forms of ''lie'' and ''lay'' won't help people get laid or lead them to being laid off. That's why lay public still confuse lay with lie. It is just the lie of the land.
Rodrigo Souza Native speakers usually don't know good grammar.

Jeremy you are not a native speaker. You are from Singapor and the way you write about you musical jorney gives that fact up.
This really helped my daughter to understand lie and lay better.Thanks Emma🏫🎓🌼
And also rise and raise🌈

Really confusing where i think many speakers make a mistake. You have helped me with it. It is tough but by practicing it over and over one can be accustomed with it. Your favorite sentence throughout the lesson was " i need to get laid in a bed". Rise and shine! Keep teaching us with your funny stuff. Clear explanation. That's so cool!
many native english people need to see this video
BlockKingdom Yes, we do. I would suggest that perhaps you might become a little less self-righteous.
I now realized i wasted 4 years in high school.
me too
😂😂😂
Haha
Oof
Fashionably late for this rendezvous!
I came across this tutorial quite by chance. It's the best and clearest explanation I have seen in years. You are right of course, this is one of the usual misunderstood and misused verb sequence.
I know it's late, but I still want to congratu8late you on this tutorial and praise the spontaneous and intelligent way you unravel such a common conundrum.
I would like to thank you and hope you will keep on being as charming and bubbly in your lessons as you are now. It was a pleasure!
Thanks for this video, these verbs are kind of tricky, specially for non native speakers, but it was very clear and concrete.
Congratulations. Very good job Emma. I am an ESL teacher too. Best, Vincent
Respected teacher Ms Emma
Hope you'll be fine and have a good health

Emma thanks for the lesson you have given us for better speaking english grammaticaly correct. I am from Cameroon africa country.
Watching in 2021.. This video is 9 yrs old and is still teaching a lot of people. Thanks for sharing this 👍❤️
You're the best teacher,l just love you.
Thanks Emma. I really like to watch your lessons.
Thanks for sharing. I'm assisting my young daughter with an assignment and I got confused and needed clarification. Your explanation is a huge help!
wonderful lesson. I like everything about confusing that make a lot of things clear in my head about the language.
Thanks a lot for that.
Too bad the "get laid" was introduced. Up until then I Was thinking this would be go for my fifth graders. Thank goodness I watched it all the way through!
lol! that would be very weird!
That part spoiled the entire video! It was good throughout except for that. Kids research these topics on youtube. The points could have been made without using that example.
Love you! Thanks! you're an excellent teacher!
I am so lucky to have a great teacher like you, Maam.
First of all: to lay isn't irregular. Just the spelling is irregular, but actually it could be layed as in played or it could be plaid instead of played. So it is just irregular in spelling. It isn't irregular because it is the causative form of to lie (German: legen/to lay [regular], liegen/to lie [irregular]).
Second: that what in video was called just a preposition is a prepostional object and therefor call it an (prepostional) object, because it is a object. This hase something to do with the valency (linguistical) of a verb and the needed function of the case of an object or even the case of the subject.
simply. perfect. thank you so much Emma
Actually these are quite confusing, I learned al lot with with you. Thank you! You're a pretty beautiful teacher ;)
Fernando Picazo no she's not that pretty. She's fatso
@@nitinjaswal946 you ugly piece of shit.
@@nitinjaswal946 you don't have any idea of Beauty. Poor thing!
Thank you, please throw some light on building confidence while speaking in English for non native English speakers, looking forward to watching that video, I really appreciate for the productive work that you are doing, Thank you so much
Even in song lyrics native speakers get confused. Check out Bruno Mars in "The lazy song", when he goes "I just wanna LAY in my bed..." 😂 For years I've avoided using lay and lie by implementing synonym words. For lay, I would use "set" "Can you SET the table?" or "I PUT the marker on the table" But for lie, meaning rest in a horizontal position, I could only substitute it with such a pompous word as "PROSTRATE yourself" "You look tired dear, why don't you prostrate on the bed for a while?" 😂😅.
silly question: are you canadian? i've noticed a particular form of pronounciation of "about". You are great BTW
cheers!
Thanks a lot! You're a very good teacher. :-)
Can orange affect your INR when you take Coumadin
Dear Emma, Thanks for these Grammar lessons....as I watch youtube
.. your Videos starting to come up & in Spanish I was always into good Grammar. So important to speak properly. Even with an accent.
Thanks again.... Andres
Lie is a intransitive verb (passives can't be made)
and Lay is transitive (passives can be made)
This lesson in a classroom with the song Lay, Lady, lay by Bob Dylan would be nice.
Also 'Lie' and 'Lay' have same present participle : 'Lying' 😨
the gerund you mean that is used in the continuous
Your sentence should have been something like this: The verb "To lie" (to be in a resting position) and the verb "To lie" (to tell false things on purpose) have the same present participle. The answer is, yes.
@@nicoolmedo gerund can be used in any tenses... present, past or future
Fantastic ! super help !!!
Not millions but gazillions thanks 🙏 ❤️👍😊
My suffering for this lie - lied - lay - true - false - on bed - in bed is finished for ever hopefully . I am really grateful. Thank you.
Dear Emma,
Thanks for explaining and putting things in a such simple way. I like learning English, and furthermore I love learning it with you. Each of your videos I watch makes me feel like I'm bolstering my English.
Thanks again and best regards
Thanks for sharing this brillant information!
What?
Did you just say "I lay the marker IN MY HAND?" 1:15 Shouldn't you have said "I lay the marker ON MY HAND?" would you explain?
On hand
Means something is available to use
Ex. I always keep a supply of firewood on hand for cold nights.
In hand
Means you hold something. If you have fingers of one hand wrapped around an object, then you are holding it in your hand.
Sometimes the use of prepositions can be tricky. Also, we use them idiomatic way. Example : I lost everything as the time was not in my hand.
There are two sides, the dark sides (brown skin) and the white sides (shiny skin), if we look at our hands, right?. If we say, on my hand, it means the dark side of our skin. But if we say, in my hand, it means in the white side. Example: "The ball is in my hand"
She says the structure is :
"LAY something ON something"
for example:
"I LAY my head ON the pillow" (her example)
but later she says :
"I LAY the marker IN my hand"... 1:15
What I mean is that she should have used another example where no other preposition rather than "ON" was required.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN TEACHING... Besides...I'm not quite sure with that about both sides of one's hand... but anyways I'll just have to go for that...
She does a great job... eh... dont't get me wrong...
@@loveyouworld1 dude... you didn't understand my question... thanks anyway
@@AndWhatNotFreeVideos I got it what you said. She didn't use 'ON' with second example as she used it with first.
She is here as a tutor and she is doing well with her subject as this lesson is all about the words: 'LAY' n 'LIE'. Not prepositions 😊
Hi! I am Freddie from México, your work is amazing! In my opinión, I would say in number 4 " The dinner was lying on the table" but I don't know it's just me! Thank you for your videos, they are great!
And many people still go on practicing English just by means of grammar, no wonder they never grow at their English. Here in Brazil English is taught from a boring and wrong way, they do not even know how to teach it. When I tell people I've never needed to study grammar to get at this level of English, they just don't believe me and try to take me down. Grammar is great, when it works when you mind is ready to the linguistic teaching. Think about it, have you learned English by means of grammar when you were a little child? Not at all? So why do teachers still go on teaching like this? Man, shame on the teaching English methods.
Great video, Emma. You're one of my best teachers. Bye. 💗😍
yeah this is an amazing lesson, like my friend says is a pet peeve and it's important to know
Hollywood movies - they always use lay when it should be lie!
seems like everyone i doing that. Perhaps they assume the listener / audience will think if someone lies down that someone is dishonest or something. They assume the audience really is stupid. Meanwhile, the English language is changing because of that.
@@mtlicq i used to think it was an American thing...
Hey Emma, if you make a video about "laid down" it will be great help. I think it's a very common confusion.
It's so easy to learn with you thanks a lot Emma from France
I'm lying in bed right now, I lay in bed yesterday watching tv, I have lain in my new hammock.
Ricky mishra : S - be (is/was/were/will be) - O : Passive voice :The dinner was laid on the table. This sentence is passive voice.
Laid is past participle so it is used in passive form. Remember three forms of verb
@Elcentry The word "laid" is the past tense of "lay". Here the three forms of verbs to be used are lie (present), lay (past), and lain (past participle). Bonus: "Lying" is the present continuous form of "lie".
Emma, I'm your greatest fan.
No way, I'm gonna meet her someday.
don't expect me to give up, may the best fan win.
Good and so clear explanation, thanks... I was pretty confused about it.
Thanks! Informative.
Pls teach about using words end with UP/OFF/DOWN/ON.
You spoke many times about OBJECT , could you please make a video explaining what is an object , when to use , and examples please. Or tell me if OBJECT is equal or the same that ADJECTIVE? , please please.
Give like this comment to Emma Watch it
The verb is the action , the subject is the person who does it , the OBJECT is the thing you're doing the verb on it " it's the the thing that got affected by the verb "
Example : I ate an apple
( I )is the subject
( ate ) is the verb
( apple ) is the object
Object is NOT equal to or the same as an adjective. An adjective is a word that describes something. "She has a pretty face" ("pretty" is the adjective).
You ask good questions!
palolany, “She has a pretty face”. “She” is the subject; “has” is the verb; “pretty” is the adjective; and “face” is the object. 🤗
You look beautiful with this hair style Emma :3
I have already lay in my bed henc I don't have chance for online lessons.Thank madam Emmah I really enjoyed your lessons.
Hi Emma, thanks your course, why we should be using "laid" with the passive tense whilst we have the object?, at the last example "the dinner" was the object. The only guess that I have is that the object at this case doesn't follow the verb directly after it.
I laid the newspaper on the study table.
I lay after I returned from my college.
Good examples!
Study table is wrong brother
Because of why you uses the word
Awesome videos!
Hi there
Please reply for once
Emma, your classes are definitely great. Thanks
My English is improved after watching your video; thank you!
In "Lazy Song" Bruno Mars sings "I just wanna lay in my bed" ♪ Why?
Bad English!
I need to lie in a bed. Why you used the preposition "in" instead of on? "I need to lie on a bed," I think is also correct.
She clearly mention that at 13:04.
This video is very useful to me, I live in New Jersey. And I’ve never heard English speaking people talking this good! Great job
good teacher, she is very details and know what the learners need
so "I lied down" is incorrect? Damn, I've been saying this wrong all my life
Liar
looooooooooooool
Think of it as "you laid yourself down".
The correct one is "I lie down".
i lay down
It's funny to looked at her face explaining "To get Laid". She turned Red... lol
Eulogio Gil I KNOW!!!
A very good lesson.
One error at 5:26/5:27 though. You said that to recline means "kind of lay back" which is not actually correct grammar. As you know that "lay" is the past tense of "lie". Now, had you said "layback" and we cannot tell whether you said it or not because it was not written out, then that is incorrect in this context since "layback" is a technique used by rock climbers when they make use of cracks in the rocks to climb the rocks.
Thank you so much, Emma.
Hence, the origin of the phrase "to get laid."
U are very beautiful
Last month I wished you all the best for whatever lay ahead. Now I wish you the best in whatever lies ahead.
Teacher, thanks for the clarification regarding the slang word to 'get laid'. while you were explaining the difference between lie and lay, I was thinking about the slang word, for a moment it got even more confused! (Lol!)
Also explain the words like down, up, out,over as prepositions and adverbs
Hello Emma. I don't usually hear this word lay much on everyday life. People don't usually use it a lot. People usually use put for explaining something you put down on a surface.
Thank you so much for Miss Emma. You explain so clearly that I can got the quiz 100 scores.
Thanks for clarifying this.
I have been puzzled by that for years.
It's very helpful Emma. Your voice is very clear, fluent and it is easy to understand. Thank you very much!
Really it's important lesson when we search about the different about (lie and lay ) so you are great to explain us ,thanks alot my teacher for your helpful.
Thanks. In your latest or recent video, you have said there is no difference between "Lay" and "Lie". That is more clearly, "Lay" can be used in place of "Lie" without changing in meaning. Thanks from Bangladesh.
Emma you are a blessing for us , who learning eng on line. This lecture answered my many problems in these two words.
You have explained this in a very simple way. Thank you👍
Thank you, Emma! I often confuse these two words.
Hi there
I was confused about the difference between these verbs until I watched this lesson more and more again , till I got it , thank you so much
The issue is that the past tense of lie is lay, which is identical with another word that have a similar meaning. You should remember lie is intransitive and lay is transitive. Right?
