Cinnamon Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 We are making a poster to sell our spare eggs. Which is correct........? "Freshly laid eggs" or "Freshly layed eggs" I think the first,but they both sort of look right. Hurry & tell me please,its making my head hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 The first one Sarah, laid is the past tense so correct.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Definitely "laid" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I agree with Nicola Sarah... I'm pretty certain that freshly laid is the correct term. Good luck with the egg selling venture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
