Is it to whoever or to whomever?: If the pronoun is functioning as the subject, meaning it is performing the verb, use “to whoever” (e.g., “to whoever enjoys”).

If the pronoun is functioning as the object, meaning it is the recipient of the verb or the object of the preposition, use “to whomever” (e.g., “to whomever I see”).
Is it I payed or paid?: “Paid” and “payed” are commonly confused because they are pronounced the same.

Paid is the past tense or past participle of the verb “pay,” which refers to the act of exchanging money for a service or goods received (e.g., “I paid for the holiday with the overtime I had been paid during the year”).

Payed is the past tense or past participle of the verb “pay,” meaning “allow a length of rope or chain to pass through your hands in a controlled way” (e.g., “I payed out the rope slowly as my student descended the cliff”).
Is it lie down or lay down?: The choice of lay or lie in this phrase depends on the verb tense you are using. When referring to the act of putting yourself in a horizontal resting position, the correct phrase is “lie down” (e.g., “I’m going to lie down on the couch”). When referring to something you’re going to do to something else, “lay down” is the appropriate phrase to use (e.g., “I’m going to lay down this lamp so it doesn’t fall”).

However, it’s important to note that “lay” is also the past tense of lie, so it makes sense to use “lay down” when referring to putting yourself in a horizontal position in the past (e.g., “Yesterday I lay down for an hour after practice”).

In short, when describing the act of reclining yourself horizontally in the present tense, use “lie down.” But when describing a past act of reclining yourself, use “lay down.”

What does you got this mean?: You say you got this to someone when you want to encourage them; it means “You can do it!” (e.g., “Come on—just one more length of the pool; you got this!).

In this phrase, “got” means “have got,” so it’s always got not gotten.
