which share forms and meanings, the most commonly misused probably being <i>lie<\/i> and <i>lay<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A transitive verb <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">takes an object. <i>Lay<\/i> is a transitive verb: <i>I lay the offensive souffl\u00c3\u00a9 before the embittered in-laws<\/i>. The verb <i>lay<\/i> acts directly upon a person or thing, in this case the souffl\u00c3\u00a9, which is the object of the verb<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">By contrast, the verb <i>lie<\/i> is intransitive<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">. It takes no object<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and indicates the state of its subject<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: <i>The souffl\u00c3\u00a9<\/i><\/span><i><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> lies before the embittered in-laws.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> The souffl\u00c3\u00a9 is the subject<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and the verb <i>lie<\/i> gives its state. English has several pairs of verbs that act this way, one transitive<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and the other intransitive<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">. It is easier to recognize the differences between them by considering the present<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">, past<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">, and past participle<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> forms of each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Lie\/lay<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<table class=\"MsoNormalTable\" style=\"width: 92.52%; margin-left: 23.4pt; border-collapse: collapse;\" border=\"1\" width=\"92%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.18%; border: 1pt solid windowtext; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"21%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">present<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.52%; border-width: 1pt 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: solid solid solid none; border-color: windowtext windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"23%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">past<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 55.3%; border-width: 1pt 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: solid solid solid none; border-color: windowtext windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"55%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">past participle<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.18%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"21%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">lay<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.52%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"23%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">laid<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 55.3%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"55%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">laid<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.18%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"21%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">lie<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.52%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"23%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">lay<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 55.3%; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; padding: 0in 5.4pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"55%\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">lain<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Transitive: <i>Today I lay the souffl\u00c3\u00a9 before the embittered in-laws.
