Usage Note
Lit also coincides in spelling with the third-person singular present of lire (to read: il lit = he reads), which can confuse learners. Aller au lit means to go to bed, while faire son lit means to make one's bed. Un lit superposé is a bunk bed, and un lit double is a double bed — useful vocabulary for hotels.
Examples
"Il est encore au lit ce matin."
Natural Translation
He is still in bed this morning.
