lay and lie

There are three similar verbs that can be confused: lay (regular except for spelling), lie (irregular) and lie (regular).

1. lay

lay is regular verb except for its spelling. its forms are:

infinitive: (to) lay past: laid -ing form: laying past participle: laid

Lay means 'put down carefully' or 'put down flat'. It has an object.

Lay the tent down on the grass and I'll see how to put it up.

I laid the papers on the table. (NOT I lay...)

Note the expressions lay a table (=put plates, knives etc on a table) and lay an egg (a bird's way of having a baby).

2. lie (irregular)

the forms of the irregular verb lie are:

infinitive; (to) lie past: lay -ing form: lying past participle: lain (used mostly in a formal/literary style)

Lie (irregular) means 'be down', 'be/become horizontal'. It has no object.

Don't lie in bed al day. Get up and do somework. (NOT ~~Don't lay~~...)

I lay down and closed my eyes. (NOT ~~I laid down~~...)

3. lie (regular)

The regular verb lie (lied) means 'say things that are not true'.

You lied to me when you said you loved me.

lay----laid----laid----laying产卵”“放置

lie----lay----lain----lying“躺”“(东西)平放”，“位于”

lie----lied----lied----lying撒谎

lay(lay----laid----laid----laying)，它的主要意思是“产卵”“放置”等，比如：

lie用作不规则动词(lie----lay----lain----lying)时，表示“躺”“(东西)平放”，“位于”等意，比如：

　　He felt tired, so he went and lay down for a rest.　　他感到疲劳，所以去躺下休息了。

　　His books lay open on the desk when I went in.　　我进去时，发现他的书平摊在书桌上。

　　(这里的lay是lie的过去式。)

　　同样表达“放”的意思， lay强调动作，而lie强调状态。比如我们要描述一个躺在床上的婴儿，如果要强调妈妈把孩子放在床上的动作，就可以说：Mother laid the baby gently on the bed.如果要强调“孩子是躺在床上的”这种状态，就要说：The baby lying on the bed was my little sister.

lie用作不规则动词lie----lied----lied----lying撒谎。

　　He wasn”t telling the truth. He lied again. /He was lying.　　他没讲实话，他又撒谎了。/他在撒谎　

lay(lay----laid----laid----laying)，它的主要意思是“产卵”“放置”等，比如：

　　The hen is laying an egg.母鸡在下蛋。

　　
He laid his hands on my shoulder.他把手放在我的肩上。

但是，如果选E的话，感觉意思不太对啊，他propose了natural selection吗？感觉propose关于natural selection的idea更合理啊。请指教，谢谢

如果是laid

那么使用的是lay-laid-laid的过去式，lay in 只做产蛋解释，要做放平解释则in没有必要，lay本身是及物的

如果是lie-laid-lain的话，in必要，lie是不及物的。

那么只能是E了
