Question

The tarp _____ flat on the ground.

lays

lies

Answer 1

The trap lays flat on the ground. Lay and lies are same, but the definition is very different.

For example, if the sentence is past tense means, we can use the lay.

But if the sentence is present means we can use lies.

But we have confused on these two words.

Lie means recline and lay means put down.
