It's a bit tricky because it's the same word! The spelling is the same, but the pronunciation and meaning are different.
Here's how it works:
* Lays (pronounced like "laze") is the plural form of "lay", which is the past tense of the verb "to lie" (meaning to recline). Example: "She lays down to rest."
* Lays (pronounced like "laze") can also be used as the plural form of "lay", which is a song or poem. Example: "He wrote several lovely lays about his love."
