A tense question

[hhtt21]

Which tense or structure would be proper for the sentence explaining the case?

Richard thinks that his parrents used to say him lie when he was small, in primary school and in secondary school. Richard saw that in secondary school, in high school, in university people swore on God, swore on bread in front of them. But these swears were lies. He had homemates and he thought his homemates were saying too much lie even though they didn't have to or didn't need to. How can Richard explain the situation (a corruption of people) from his childhood to until now?

"People around me have always been saying too much lie"? Is this attempt to explain the case correct?

I'm moving this garbled text into the Editing forum in case somebody has time to decipher what you mean.

For a start, you should use the correct verb structure. Here are two:

• to lie to somebody (=on a specific occasion)
• to tell lies (=generally)
