John Bach-Hansen, Someone could lay a book on the table. The person lay on the couch when he could not climb the stairs to bed. Lay is for inanimate objects or past tense. Lie is the present tense. I lie on the bed quietly before rising for the day. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Marianne Frederick Halterman, Attorney is a direct object. Doesn't whom apply there? Thank you, Christine, James' wife
