Yes, native English speakers get these two verbs mixed up all the time. It is worth noting that the past participle "lain" is seldom used; even in conversation. I personally try to express the past tense of "to lie" by using a completely different expression. "I stayed in my bed (instead of "lay") or "I have been in a hammock before (instead of "lain").

On modern English people use those two verbs the same, and the past and past participle is ''laid'' for both. Lie (not telling the truth) the past is lied, she's right on that one. Lain is obsolete. Watch the video on ENGLISH FOR EVERYONE.

On hand Means something is available to use Ex. I always keep a supply of firewood on hand for cold nights. In hand Means you hold something. If you have fingers of one hand wrapped around an object, then you are holding it in your hand. Sometimes the use of prepositions can be tricky. Also, we use them idiomatic way.

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN TEACHING... Besides...I'm not quite sure with that about both sides of one's hand... but anyways I'll just have to go for that...
