[General] lying

[Will17]

Hello!

Is this sentence grammatically correct, please? :

"When you sunbathe you are usually lying". (Would it be better to use: "when you are sunbathing"?)

Thanks

They mean the same.

Hello there,

Could we use the present simple in the second part of these sentences? :

-"When you are sunbathing you usually lie."

-"When you sunbathe you usually lie."

Thank you

In both cases I would use "down", "lying down" and "lie down".
