Introduction: Confusing Words – HC page 48 • Some words are frequently misused, particularly in spoken language. The children lie on the their backs in bed. The girls lay the chess pieces on the table. “Lie” means “to recline;” “Lay” means “to put or place.”
The verb “lie” can never take a direct object. The verb “lay” can.Compare the following forms:lie, lying, lay, lainlay, laying, laid, laid
Why are these words confusing? • The past tense form of “lie” is “lay.” This is the same as the present tense form of “lay.” • A trick for remembering the difference: • People lie, things don’t!
Gone and Went • Waverly had gone to meet her mother. (past participle of go) • Waverly went to many chess competitions. (past tense of go) • When “gone” is used as a past participle, it must have the helping verb “have” to complete it.

For example, these details in “The House on Mango Street” suggest that the neighborhood is a lower-income one: the houses are small and poorly constructed; Meme’s house is surrounded by dirt and greasy boards; Esperanza says people who live on hills “have nothing to do with last week’s garbage or fear of rats,” which suggests that she is used to garbage and rats in her neighborhood.
