'lie', 'lie' (another verb) and 'lay' - Learners' Questions
video description
They are tricky aren't they, I heard that even native speakers use these verbs incorrectly sometimes.
You might hear, for example ' I laid on the sofa yesterday' ' but it's wrong isn't it?
We should say ' I lay on the sofa yesterday' shouldn't we?

G'day, Dan!
No worries! I've got it! :)
It's a great pleasure to lay my way through the Australian English to the British one in the same night! I'm so much enjoing this!
Especially if I still lying on my bed!
Thank you. :)

How many places do I need to lay at the table for lunch? I'm not sure if I understood that correctly... does that have something to do with how many chairs, plates, etc. I need to prepare?

At the end of the video, lay = push eggs out of the body (animals). Does it have the same meaning with give birth to somebody ?
