Final answer:

Correct use of lay and lie verbs are clarified, emphasizing distinctions between them to aid in error-free usage.


Explanation:

lay means 'to put or set something down,' while lie means 'to be in or move into a horizontal position' or 'to be situated.'

Remember, lay is the past tense of lie. In the present tense, 'I lay the book on the desk' is correct for lay, and 'I need to lie on the bed' is correct for lie.

To avoid confusion, note that lie (meaning to recline) is irregular, making it crucial to distinguish it from lay (to set down).
