Lie or Lay? What's the difference?

This is an old version of this video. You can see an updated one here:    • Lay or Lie? Never mix them up again.  

Do you need Lay or Lie? Is lie lay down or lie down?

Oh my! Even native English speakers muddle these verbs up. They mean different things but they're tricky because the past tense of lie is lay.

Wow! That's confusing, but we can help. Learn the difference here.
