Great photos!!! But FYI: if you “had to lay” on the floor, you were laying — what? Eggs? Or being laid? Nope: you had to LIE on the floor. English is a dying language!
"I lay down on the floor" is grammatically correct if you are speaking in the past tense (meaning you did it yesterday or in the past). It is the past tense of "lie down." However, if you are speaking about the present tense (doing it now), it is incorrect; you should say "I lie down on the floor."
Past Tense (Correct): "I lay down on the floor yesterday" (past tense of lie).
Present Tense (Correct): "I lie down on the floor every day".
Feel free to check the thousands of other sentences on here, and thanks for the photo compliments!
“I had to lay on the floor” is not grammatically correct, however. I only flagged it because it makes me sad to see the loss of the distinction between “to lie” vs. “to lay (something)”, which is elegant, precise, and virtually gone from our language.
Thank you for sharing the lovely photos!
My pleasure, Dawn. I’m pleased to know you like them. I’m sure I’ll add more at some point.
Ace may have been the first great true love of my then-very-young life.
Luv the Dr.
