Secondly, does this person you imagine having to choose between "lay down" or "lie down", do you imagine that they actually already know what's the right choice?

Originally posted by HandyAndy Lay down requires a direct object, and lie down does not. For example: Lay your books down on the table and lie down for a short nap.
Thanks so much. One more question: was are the past-tenses of those word? For example, is the past tense of lay "laid"?
