<p>I put lay also. I might have put a comma...I know I didn't use a semicolon for any of them, I don't think.</p>
<p>sorry i might seem mad, but is "lain" wrong...... i mean it is the past tense</p>
<p>right, but we're looking for the past tense of LIE not LAY. And the past tense of LIE, oddly enough, is LAY.</p>
<p>DAMNIT.</p>
<p>And I EFFING overanalyzed the stupid planes question too. I had the right answer (line of intersection and no intersection) and changed it.</p>
<p>Ugh. I do this EVERY time.</p>
<p>....I'll calm down soon....</p>
<p>johnny is right, the past tense of lay might be something else, but we are looking for the past tense of lie, which is lay</p>
<p>And isn't "lain" passive? I don't know. Ugh.................UUUGHHH</p>
<p>So basically, the types of people that got the "lay" question right fall in one of two categories:</p>
<p>1) They didn't even know about the difference between lay and lie, so they used lay. I.E. they got it right because of their ignorance.</p>
<p>2) They knew there was a difference between lay and lie, but they also knew there was an exception for the past tense of lie.</p>
<p>And the people who chose lied forgot about the exception. (Me.)</p>
<p>ok i just looked it up, lain is the past participle</p>
<p>I had lain</p>
<p>When I looked it up on Google, it came up with a bunch of grammar sites. I posted the most important parts from the first site here:</p>
<p>** Difference between Lie and Lay **
Lie means that the actor (subject) is doing something to himself or herself. It's what grammarians call a complete verb. When accompanied by subjects, complete verbs tell the whole story.
Lay, on the other hand, means that the subject is acting on something or someone else; therefore, it requires a complement to make sense. Thus lay always takes a direct object. Lie never does. </p>
<p>*Correct Usage *
Lie
Present tense: I lie down on my bed to rest my weary bones.
Past tense: Yesterday, I lay there thinking about what I had to do during the day.
Past participle: But I remembered that I had lain there all morning one day last week.
Lay
Present tense: As I walk past, I lay the tools on the workbench.
Past tense: As I walked past, I laid the tools on the workbench. And: I laid an egg in class when I tried to tell that joke.
Past participle: . . . I had laid the tools on the workbench.</p>
<p>woooo......</p>
<p>wow this is getting a bit ridiculous, we have established that the correct answer is lay, let's move on</p>
<p>how many questions on the test do you think can you miss on the english to get a 32 on the english test</p>
<p>One.</p>
<p>Juuust kidding. I have no idea.</p>
<p>like 4-5? o_O</p>
<p>its 8 dollar fee btw
and chisox i think i put omit and for the other one, keep as comma</p>
<p>will someone shoot me, please?</p>
<p>Ok i'll stop whining.</p>
<p>After someone shoots me.</p>
<p>I actually feel a little ok about this test. I just hope they don't score crappy though...like miss one and you go from a 36 to a 30.</p>
<p>im saying the lowest i think i probably got composite wise is a 29-30. I agree, I hope they don't do that hard scoring.</p>
<p>sorry gotta keep the thread up.....</p>
<p>what do you guys thing you got in each subject and composite</p>
<p>Hmm. I think Composite 33/4 would be my guess. Although I still have a tiny tiny hope holding out for a 36. We'll see next week though.</p>
<p>I'm guessing .. 33 Eng, 36 M, 35 W, 30 Sci... that would be a 34 composite.. I would be ecstatic with that. However, as much as I would like to believe I went perfect on math, I probably didn't! :p</p>
<p>28 Eng, 30 Math, 26 Reading, 28 Science Composite 28...that would be my dream score...I like to keep my goals and dreams realistic for myself. :)</p>
