I've always had problem with these two verbs. Appreciate your effort.
Thank you dear friend, you helped me to explain to my daughter who is 10 years old. Bless you.
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.
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
You're so easy to understand Emma! From now on you're my favorite teacher ♥
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.. ?
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 never seen a teacher like you!!
You are awesome, I completely understand every single thing you explain, all the time!!!
Very nice teacher, I just remembered of the part: "Spartans! Lay down your weapons! ", from the movie 300. Thank you.
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.
The best class about verbs " to lie and to lay" I have already learned until now.
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!
Love you! Thanks! you're an excellent teacher!
"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 😁😁
Thanks Emma. I really like to watch your lessons.
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.
"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.
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?

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!
Good and so clear explanation, thanks... I was pretty confused about it.
simply. perfect. thank you so much Emma
Thanks for sharing this brillant information!
Another GREAT resource for those interested in English is a piece titled Mark's English Grammar Shortcuts - absolutely spot on .
EMMA, thank you for your clear explanation on the usage of these two confusing words: lay and lie.
I´ll lay this lesson in my brain in order to never forget it.

Thanks a lot for that.

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:) :)
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.
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
Great lesson! I was trying to explain this grammar point and it wasn't easy. Thanks for making it so clear!
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.
Thanks a lot! You're a very good teacher. :-)

Thanks for this video, these verbs are kind of tricky, specially for non native speakers, but it was very clear and concrete.
Thanks so much for your explanation. I finally have understood the difference about these two verbs.
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.

Awesome videos!
Hi there
Please reply for once
I really enjoyed your explanation. It is simple and clear. Easy to make anyone to understand how to use these two verbs correctly. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much. This is such a useful video. Great explanation !!! I look forward to seeing more recent video lessons of yourself.
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.
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.
Thank you so much Teacher Emma , All useful and wonderful lessons, every day I watch some of them , you are amazing teacher.
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

cheers!
It's so easy to learn with you thanks a lot Emma from France
Thank you! A very pleasant instructor who's great at teaching.
This lesson in a classroom with the song Lay, Lady, lay by Bob Dylan would be nice.
You look beautiful with this hair style Emma :3
Thank you so much, I clear up all my doubts with you. Loves from Argentina.
Thank you Emma. I learn easily to you. You example and explanation is too good to understand those confusing words.
yeah this is an amazing lesson, like my friend says is a pet peeve and it's important to know
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.
Goodday Emma, speak english like you is one of my goals. You're the best teacher ever
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
Is there any Indian here??
Not me
Yes
Yes.
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".
"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.
Thanks alot ma 'am for presenting clear picture of two confusing verbs.Very well explained!
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
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...
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!
It's very helpful Emma. Your voice is very clear, fluent and it is easy to understand. Thank you very much!
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
In "Lazy Song" Bruno Mars sings "I just wanna lay in my bed" ♪ Why?
Bad English!
You're great. I just loved all your videos. Thank you
Thank you so much for clarifying my doubts...
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.
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. 🤗
Thanks Miss. EMMA .The English class on Lie , Layer complications was fine.
Gosto muito ela explica com muita paciência
It's funny to looked at her face explaining "To get Laid". She turned Red... lol
Eulogio Gil I KNOW!!!
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 😊
Thank you. Beautifully and clearly explained.
this is very helpful since I always confused with lie and lay, thanks Emma!
Hence, the origin of the phrase "to get laid."
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
Always awesome lessons from you Emma.. Thank youuu
Thank you so much for Miss Emma. You explain so clearly that I can got the quiz 100 scores.
U are very beautiful
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.
Thank you for your present and the previous video about among , between and amongst later at present the difference between lay and lie.
Thanks. You are wonderful teacher, clear and simple.
Thank my honest teacher, I appreciate your efforts 😊
Appreciate your way of teaching . Thanks for clearing my doubt by the way .
