Yesterday, I told you I’ve been spying on my neighbors.
Just kidding.
I told you I was spying for the North Korean navy.
Just kidding again.
My life isn’t quite so exciting.
I’m only spying on my competition.
And here’s another shockingly bad English lesson I discovered this week inside a competitor’s course…
My Lesson
Do you know the difference between lie and lay and lie?
Three words… three different meanings… three different spellings for the present, the past and the present perfect.
Isn’t English wonderful!?
But if you don’t the difference, don’t worry.
Because most native speakers don’t, either.
And if you get it wrong, we’ll still understand you, and most likely, the other person won’t even know you made a mistake.
It’s better to focus on more important things like speaking and understanding and learning new words.
My Dumb Competition’s Lesson
So what does my dumb competition want you, intermediate student, to learn?
That’s right!
The most confusing English grammar, starting with lie, lay and lie!
Ug!
Why is this course teaching you advanced grammar that even native speakers don’t know?
That’s like trying to play Beethoven on the piano before you can play the scales.
Not smart.
Lie-if someone not speaking truth
Lie-lay- take a moment to rest
Lay/laid- put something to somewhere or someone to bed for example 😅
Who knows, maybe people need so much this verb “to lie”??
