This is correct.

This is incorrect.

"I have laid on the bed today."

"I lie down."

"I lay down."

"I lay down the object."

"I lie down the object."

This is literally the only thing I have learned in my grammar class. Hardly anyone I know uses these verbs properly. And all of my grammar nazi friends, I'm not saying you didn't already know this, but if you didn't, you can now pretend to know more than just the difference between "their," "there," and "they're."
