Normally, there are some problems that lie ahead. We have to anticipate and be prepared for the future as we never know when we could encounter problems in the near future. If something lies ahead especially something that is unpleasant or difficult, it is going to happen sometime in the future and you will have to deal with it at some point in the future.įor example, we just have to be ready for whatever problems lie ahead.
Every Sunday I would lie around the house. To Lie Around means Flojear o Procastinar, in English is procrastinate or to be lazy, to lie around.Īccording to weon inteligente or the online dictionary, it means to be lazy and unproductive.įor example: Sunday is just great for lying around and doing nothing. So the next phrasal verb that is common to hear is Lie Around. In this episode I want to teach you the phrasal verbs I hear native speakers use, and the ones I tend to use often as well. To lie down on the couch, on the sofa and watch some Spanish telenovela.
To lie down is simply, to rest, descansar in Spanish.įor example, I am going to lie down on the couch and watch some Spanish telenovela. In this case, I am using lie to assume horizontal position, to lie down.Īwesome, have another sip of that coffee, we are entering the world of phrasal verbs. But some people like to lie on the side or on their belly or stomach to help them fall asleep. When I go to bed to sleep, I find it easier to fall asleep when I lie on my back. Now, I am going to use an example with the verb Lie. The simple past tense is L A Y, remember this one guys. This is an irregular verb, the past tense is lay and participle lain. In Spanish it would be Descansar or Recostarse. For example, you’ve lied to me.įor the purposes of today’s episode I will focus on the second definition of LIE which was: To rest. To lie is a regular verb, the past tense is lied and participle is lied. To tell lies is to intentionally give false information, to be dishonest and deceitful, to falsify information. To lie, is to rest, or descansar in Spanish.įirst of all let me explain what the verb to Lie means. One means To Lie, to be dishonest – ot in Spanish, Mentir and the second meaning is to assume horizontal position, for example: you can lie down on your bed and rest. If you look it up in the dictionary you will see two meanings. There are two meanings when it comes to the verb To Lie – it’s spelt L I E. So are we ready to start amigos? I hope so! So, today’s episode will be a little bit exhilarating, so grab a cup of coffee, I recommend two shots of espresso, and make it a strong coffee, because there will be a lot of information for you to take in. Because to Lie doesn’t just mean to tell lies, or to be dishonest. This actually prompted me to prepare an episode about the difference between Lie and Lay.
Funnily enough, even the native speakers get confused when using these 2 verbs.Īlso, I’d like to thank JuanPablo who asked this question in my Facebook Group about an English expression What Lies Within. And I will use today’s episode to explain the difference between these two verbs. So as promised in my last episode, number 70 I would like to explain the difference between Lie and Lay. Zdrastvujte.Īnyway, enough of chit-chat let’s get straight into it. I speak a little bit, so having said this now, instead of saying hello to you I should’ve just said Zdrastvuyte. My friend from Russia was celebrating her birthday so I went there with my Chilean husband who didn’t understand a word of Russian.
G’d day amigos, welcome to another episode of EMS, my name is Milena from Hope you are having an awesome weekend, what were you up to this weekend? What did you do on the weekend, basically?
