Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit of lay, and not of lie. To lie along the shore (Naut. ), to coast, keeping land in sight. -- To lie at the door of, to be imputable to; as, the sin, blame, etc. , lies at your door. -- To lie at the heart, to be an object of affection, desire, or anxiety.

"As much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. " Rom. xii. 18. -- To lie in the way, to be an obstacle or impediment. -- To lie in wait, to wait in concealment; to lie in ambush. -- To lie on or upon. (a ) To depend on; as, his life lies on the result. (b ) To bear, rest, press, or weigh on. -- To lie low, to remain in concealment or inactive.

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.
