[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1139509, member: 17767"] According to the dictionary: [i]Use sit for an action that a person or animal does by oneself.[/i] [i]Use set for an action that a person does to someone or something else.[/i] This is the rule I referenced that a person or animal "sits". In regard to "set". It is an action someone does to an object. You set your glass on the table. But you are correct. An obect can be "sitting". As in the house is sitting on the hill. [/QUOTE]
