Flair has two different meanings.

Eg. Holly has a flair to dress the girls for their matric farewell. 

## Let's take a look at ***flare***
Flare can be used as a noun or a verb. 

### Flare has two different meanings when used as a noun.
1. A sudden burst of a bright flame or light.
Eg. A distress flare was seen over the ocean. 

2. The gradual widening in shape. 
Eg. Helen's pants gradually flare out to the bottom of her skirt. 

### Flare has two different meanings when used as a verb.
1. When someone suddenly becomes angry.
Eg. Holly sat at the counter when she jumped up in a flare of anger and began shouting at Harry.
2. When something gradually widens to one end.

## Let's take a look at ***lie***.
Lie is very easy to remember. It means to be in a horizontal position, to rest. Easy hey?

So when you are going to bed you lie down on your bed to sleep.

## Let's take a look at ***lay***.
Lay means to put something in a place. 
Eg. I lay the table. I lay the papers on the desk.

Here is two pictures to help you understand these two concepts.
