Im pretty sure its something along the lines of lay or layed, lied is the past tense of lying.
Layed is definitely wrong. Lay is a present tense. I'm pretty sure it's lied.
Edit: Wait, it is lay. That sounds weird.
Or is it laid?
English is a strange language when you think about it.
It's half German and a third French, with everything else a veritable Spackle of other languages. What do you expect?
German and French are about as far apart as major European languages get, and...it's one-sixth Spackle.
Oh, because you havent tried to conjugate Spanish verbs. They are going to blow your head. I actually know a fair bunch of "educated" (they went to school and all) people here that still use them wrong. Mix it with a quite particular dialect that affects a third of the persons and you have a recipe for regular grammar mistakes.
I've taken Spanish classes, and let me tell you: Conjugating Spanish verbs may be complicated, but it doesn't have nearly as many exceptions as English.
