Is this a correct sentence?

"He took the medicine and lied back down in bed.

Is "lied" the correct word for this

doesn't sound right

lay back or laid back sound better to my ear

someone else will likely respond with the correct
grammar for this.

Vance, I had to do a bit of searching to find the correct word for you to use because I just wasn't sure myself. The correct sentence would be "He took the medicine and lay back down in bed".

For reference on the use of the different forms of lay and lie, go to Grammar Mishaps: Lie vs. Lay

Anytime, Vance. If I have to look for the answer, then I get to learn something new. Truth be known, I really enjoy searching for stuff I don't know.
