Lay for lie

I got dizzy and had to lay down.

I got dizzy and had to lie down.

(The verb lie ''assume a horizontal or resting position'' is often confused with the verb lay ''put something down'', giving rise to incorrect uses such as: he is laying on the bed  or why don't you lie the suitcase on the bed? When, correct use is: he is lying on the bed or why don't you lay the suitcase on the bed?. The confusion is only heightened by the fact that lay is not only the base form of to lay, but is also the past tense of to lie, so while "he is laying on the bed is incorrect", "he lay on the bed yesterday is quite correct." )

(you could further research on your own) =)

Now its your turn to try it out yourself. Come up with examples of these words used in the wrong way.
