Suggested Answer:Explanation🗳️
Lay means to put something down. It always takes an object. Lie means to recline or to be sedentary and does not take an object. Answer choice (A) is the only one that uses the correct verbs in the correct logical order.
A. Before I lie down to go to sleep, I lay down my book on the nightstand.
Here’s why:
"Lie" is used when the subject reclines (no object involved).
"Lay" requires an object, meaning the subject is placing something down (in this case, the book).
This sentence uses both correctly:
"I lie down": The subject reclines.
"I lay down my book": The subject places the book down.
