Best Answer

Both uses of the word lie have the same spelling: to tell a falsehood or to be recumbent. However, the conjugations will be different. (The past tenses are lied and lay, the past participles are lied and lain.)

Same spelling

"You're telling me a lie."

"The cat liked to lie on the bed."

"You are lying."

"The cat is lying on the bed."

Different spelling

"Yesterday I lied to the police."

"He lay on the bed, trying to relax." (not laid)

"He has lied before."

"That dog has lain on my good rug again."
