minus-squareParaneoptera@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 个月前It should be “after King Arthur had laid his sword down, he lay in the tall grass, resting” since “lain” is the intransitive participial form and “laid” is the transitive participial form. If he’s doing it to a sword he needs the transitive.
