“Lay the table” is British and “set the table” is American but “SET the table” is more commonly used. However, they're both correct and I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing

@@angeloliver7613 You needed to turn to google to get validation. Good for you. 1. She better specify that this phrase is to be used in Britain only. 2. I also speak a little spansh, me being from Miami and all. And if I were to rely on Google to literally translate, "ponga la mesa" to ANY dialect of English, I'd look so foolish. "Put the table?"
