What is the present participle for lie?

The present participle for "lie" (to recline) is lying.

However, there is another verb "lie" (to tell a falsehood), and its present participle is lying as well.

It's important to note that while they have the same present participle, these verbs are distinct:

* Lie (to recline): "I am lying down for a nap."

* Lie (to tell a falsehood): "He is lying about his age."
