      *It’d be “lies” for present tense, but “lay” is correct for past.

        Yes. It didn’t sound past tense in my head, but that certainly fits.

        And no: “she lie” would be a colloquial present tense assuming that “she lay” was a similar colloquial conjugation of the verb “to lay” as commonly used in place of “to lie”.

          Actually, “lay” is the past tense of “lie,” AND “lay” is a separate verb from “lie.” Most people will incorrectly (for formal English anyway) confuse the two verbs, using transitive “lay” when they mean to be using the intransitive “lie.” (E.g. “She lays down” is not a valid conjugation in formal English, and should be “She lies down.” If she’s putting something else down though, “She lays it down.”

          Here are the respective conjugation charts for both verbs, if you want:

          • https://www.wordreference.com/conj/enverbs.aspx?v=lie
          • https://www.wordreference.com/conj/enverbs.aspx?v=lay

          In some regional or cultural dialects though, maybe it’s all “lay?” I grew up with (and taught) more formal English but I do try to respect established differences in standard Englishes (as long as I’m aware of them). :)
