    IF you can do that-vs-who/m, then you can do this.

      No, I think I’ve got a good handle on that. Studying German and learning Akkusativ vs Dativ really helped.

      I think the challenge here involves a few things:

      • It’s hard to remember irregular verbs unless they’re super common.
      • The vowel shifts on the right side: present-tense Lie and Lying vs past Lay and Lain.
      • Some of the forms on the right are very similar sounding to ones on the left, plus Lay is confusingly used in two rather different situations.
