What is the past participle of "lie"? Thanks! 😊

The past participle of the verb "lie" is "lain". This is a bit tricky because "lie" is an irregular verb. You see, most verbs just add -ed for the past participle (like "jump" becomes "jumped"). But not our friend "lie". Instead, "lie" becomes "lay" in the past tense and "lain" in the past participle. This can get mixed up with another verb, "lay", which becomes "laid" both in past tense and as a past participle! Isn't English fun? 😄
