Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'lay'.
- The verb "lay" is the correct past tense of "lie" when referring to the action of reclining or resting. (लेटना)
- The sentence indicates that the subject rested for a while due to being tired, so "lay" is the appropriate choice.
- The other options: "lie" (present tense), "laid" (past tense of "lay" meaning to place something), and "lied" (past tense of "lie" meaning to tell an untruth) are not suitable in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Complete Sentence: As I was tired, I lay down for a while.
- Lie (लेटना - present tense): To recline or rest on a surface.
- Lay (रखना): To place or put something down.
- Laid (रखा): Past tense of "lay" (to place something).
- Lied (झूठ बोला): Past tense of "lie" (to tell an untruth).
