These two verbs are so tricky that native English speakers sometimes muddle them up. So when Bob Dylan wrote 'Lay lady lay' he should have written, 'Lie lady lie' - it doesn't sound as good though. Here's a video that explains the difference. You can see this video with a clickable transcript at our video website: http://www.SimpleEnglishVideos.com

    Wowww, Mrs. Vicki Hollett.

    Yes, it's a little confused sometimes to use "lie" and "lay". I think I will watch it again and make some note to get the proper use of lie and lay. I got the differences clearly by watching your video. I didn't know that there is "lie down" beside "lay down". :)

    You look have fun making this video, and you speak English as clear as day.. I like your style Mrs.Vicki. Thank you so much for the lesson and sharing this video... It's very useful. :))
