, english is not my first language, i just start learing , to me every sentence is correct

I don't think any of those is correct. However, it depends upon how each phrase is used in a sentence.

The correct option is "lie, lie."

To determine the correct verb usage in this sentence, we need to understand the differences between "lay" and "lie."

"Lay" is a transitive verb, which means it requires an object to act upon. For example, you would use "lay" when you place something down.

On the other hand, "lie" is an intransitive verb, which means it does not require an object. It is used to indicate reclining or resting in a horizontal position.

In the sentence you provided, both instances of resting/napping do not have an object being acted upon. Therefore, we should use the intransitive verb "lie" in both cases.

So, the correct sentence would be: "I told the child to lie down for a nap, and when he fell asleep, I lied down for a nap of my own."
