Part 1:
If you’ve ever had a doctor to tell you to “lay down,” you can unleash your righteous fury on him or her for treating you like an object, in either sense of the word.
Part 3:
“Lay” is used for the object of the sentence, usually objects.
I lay down the book.
I laid down the book.
I have laid down the book.
I am laying down the book.
