lay lie laid lain

I admit it--every time I need to use one of "those," I either look for a synonym, or google. This post will be my reference from now on, and maybe one day I'll just learn the forms.


recline (intransitive): lie, lay, lain
place (transitive): lay, laid, laid
falsify (intransitive): lie, lied, lied
