Let’s examine the question: we’re asked to identify the sentence with no errors from the three options. Each sentence concerns English capitalization and spelling rules about lay vs lie and possessive contractions.
Option 1: 'If you lie your keys on the table, you might lose them.' Here, lie is misused. Lie is the verb meaning to recline or to rest horizontally, and it does not take a direct object like 'your keys.' The intended meaning would require 'lay' (past tense) or 'lie down' in different wording. As written, this sentence is grammatically incorrect because it uses lie where lay should be.
Option 2: 'If you lay you're keys on the table, you might loose them.' This option contains multiple errors: 'lay' is the past tense of 'lie' and should pair with a direct object, but here the phrase is about placing keys, which requires the verb 'lay' in the present tense; however, more critically, 'you're' is a contraction of 'you are,' which is incorrect here—possessive 'your' is the correct determiner. Additionally, 'loose' should be 'lose' to mean to misplace. Altogether, this sentence is riddled with grammatical and orthographic mistakes.
Option 3: 'If you lay your keys on the table, you might lose them.' This sentence uses the grammar correctly: 'lay' is the transitive verb meaning to place something down, and it correctly takes a direct object 'your keys.' The possessive determiner is correctly written as 'your,' and 'lose' is the correct verb meaning to misplace, with the contracted form 'you might' properly spaced. The comma placement and spelling are correct, making this the error-free option.
So, when evaluating the three options, the first option misuses lie for lay, the second option compounds multiple errors including pronoun form and a misspelled verb, while the third option adheres to standard English rules for lay, your, and lose. In terms of common English-learning misconceptions, many students confuse lay/lie and confuse your/you’re, which these distractors illustrate well. The benign, correct choice aligns with standard usage for placing objects and expressing potential loss.
