    No, I think I’ve got a good handle on that. Studying German and learning Akkusativ vs Dativ really helped.

    I think the challenge here involves a few things:

    • It’s hard to remember irregular verbs unless they’re super common.
    • The vowel shifts on the right side: present-tense Lie and Lying vs past Lay and Lain.
    • Some of the forms on the right are very similar sounding to ones on the left, plus Lay is confusingly used in two rather different situations.
