Thanks for your swift reply,Rover.But could you please shed light upon number4?
Already i know LAY,LIE:The verb lay which means to put or place can be active or passive and take an object .The verb lie,when it means to repose ,is never passive and never followed by an object.
1.The problem is lay in the case 4 .Is it in past form?

'The letter which lay on the desk. . .' means 'The letter which was in repose on the desk. . .' and is in the past tense of the intransitive verb to lie.
If you want to use the passive of the transitive verb to lay you need to say 'The letter which had been laid on the desk . . .'
