Lie has two meanings. If we refer to 'Lie' as in 'lying down in a bed' then the simple past tense is 'lay' and the past participle is 'lain'. However, if we refer to 'Lie' as in 'false statement', then the simple past and the past participle are both 'lied'.

The verb lie has 2 meanings. When we refer to 'lie' as in 'lying down on the floor', the simple past and the past participle are lay and lain respectively. When we refer to 'lie' with the meaning 'false statement', then the simple past and past participle is the same word which is 'lied'.

lie (present,) lay (past) and lain (past participle). The principal parts of lay are: lay (present), laid (past) and laid (past participle). As an aid in choosing the correct verb forms, remember that lie means to recline, whereas lay means to place something, to put something on something
