A cool guide would have explained the underlying rule that helps you remember these.

1 1 ReplyNo, I think I've got a good handle on that. Studying German and learning Akkusativ vs Dativ really helped.
I think the challenge here involves a few things:
- It's hard to remember irregular verbs unless they're super common.
- The vowel shifts on the right side: present-tense Lie and Lying vs past Lay and Lain.
- Some of the forms on the right are very similar sounding to ones on the left, plus Lay is confusingly used in two rather different situations.

You mean like how it does that at the top of the page?
If you're talking about an object it's the left side. If you're talking about people in rest it's the right.

1 0 ReplyYou need to lie down in order to get laid.
Explains the difference between lie and lay (hopefully).
