The spelling of some verbs in the imperative mood depends on the processes of alternation of sounds in the root of the word. In this regard, questions arise about how to pronounce and write such words without making mistakes. For example, which of the verb forms is correct: lie down or lie down?

In Russian, the form of the imperative mood of verbs is formed from the stem of the infinitive, in which alternation of root consonants [zh] and [ch], with [g] and [k] is possible: run - run, run; cut - cut, cut; oven - bake, bake.

This alternation occurs in the root of an imperative verb lie down, lie down. This form is derived from the stem of the infinitive of the imperfective verb lie. It differs from the form that is similar in semantic meaning, but does not have alternation of root consonants lie down, lie down formed from the infinitive of the verb go to bed.

Since the alternation of root consonants during the formation of the imperative mood of a verb does not always occur, in speech instead of the correct form lie down, lie down it is often the wrong version lie down, lie down. Another mistake is made in the letter: the soft sign is lost.

Understanding the differences in the way verb forms are formed lie down And lie down will allow you not to mix orally and writing these options are wrong lie down.

For comparison and memorization, you can use the following examples:

Right	wrong
Lie down Lay down next to me. Lie down sleep: tomorrow will be a difficult day. Lie down make yourself comfortable and go to sleep.	Lie down on the sofa, you will be more comfortable on it. Lie down next to me. Lie down go to bed early: tomorrow will be a difficult day. Lie down make yourself comfortable and go to sleep.

the site gives the following recommendations on the use of forms of the verb lie down and lay down in speech:

1. Imperative form of plural verb lie down in Russian the only correct one. The use of this verb in the form lie down is a gross speech and spelling error.
2. Incorrect version of the verb handicap lie down arises by analogy with the imperative mood of the verb lie down.
3. Verb form lie down formed from a stem in which there is no alternation of consonants –zh-/-g-. Form lie down is formed with alternating root consonants.

Lie down comfortably (clothing should in no case restrict your movements; it is better to have bare feet).

Relaxation before entering the astral plane.

Quick relaxation

1) Lie down comfortably (clothing should under no circumstances restrict your movements; it is better to have bare feet). You can cover yourself with a light blanket.

2) Close your eyes, watch the thoughts that arise in your head. Don’t chase away the mental images, let them do what they want.

3) Create some pleasant idea (remember something or fantasize a little). If unpleasant visions continue to appear in the future, do nothing. Don't try to get rid of them by force of will.

4) Bending your legs in a “U” shape, pat them from bottom to top and back - this will relax your muscles.

5) After taking a deep breath, hold your breath. Without exhaling, draw in your stomach and press your protruding lumbar vertebrae to the mat on which you are lying. Fix this position (lie like this until it becomes a burden for you). Exhale and relax completely. Lie still for a while. Repeat this exercise three times.

6) After inhaling, hold your breath in your chest for as long as possible. After exhaling, lie down in a relaxed state (do not forget to start breathing again, but do not influence your breathing, let the body breathe on its own). Repeat this three times.

7) After inhaling, hold your breath and, crossing your arms, hug yourself by the shoulders, squeezing them as tightly as possible. Once you have enjoyed it, exhale and relax. You can leave your hands in the same position. Lie down for a while.

8) Continue holding your arms in the “hug” position (if before this you were lying with them stretched along your body, then return to the indicated position). With your knees bent, if it is more comfortable, sway from side to side. After pampering yourself in this way, unclench your arms and, remaining in a lying position, feel relaxed.

9) Don’t rush to finish relaxation (this general rule for all similar techniques). Lie as long as you want. Then stretch, as if after waking up from sleep, and, slowly opening your eyes, slowly sit up.
