本日はAdam先生がドイツ語について教えてくれます😃
Lie, lie, lay.
The German language (Deutsch) has three verbs, which entered English many years ago, that bedevil speakers of English. No, I don’t mean students of E.S.L. – I mean native speakers!
a) lügen: to (tell a) lie
b) liegen: to lie (in bed/on the floor)
c) legen : to lay (place, put or sit) something in a certain palce or position.
In German there is no confusion and the different vowel sounds are kept almost unchanged, regardless of the tense. Now, look at the mess we made of these words in English.
a) lie lied lied
b) lie lay lain
c) lay laid laid
See if you can write sentences with these with these words used used correctly. WARNING! The average English teacher will give you a different answer, depending on where he or she comes from! (You’d be better off checking online…)
Regards,
Adam
