From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
Yesterday, I..........on the beach for half an hour.
Yesterday, I..........on the beach for half an hour.
lain
lay
lie
lied
Explicação
The confusion here is due to the irregular verb “to lie” (meaning to recline) and its past forms. So:
“I lie down now” (present)
“I lay down yesterday” (past)
“I have lain there before” (past participle)
