Verb 2
—
If you lie, you say or write something that you know is not true.
"How old are you?" he asked. "Twenty-one," she lied. She was actually eighteen years old. Examples given in the old Webster dictionary says, why do you lie to me vs why do you just lie there. In past tense the word "lier" perceived in the new dictionary does not exist. It has been deleted from context to be depicted as "liar" when in fact they are two different existing words that have two different meanings all together. In example, to be a "lier" is to be a noun in context and to be a "liar" would be as a verb form. One depicts a person or being while the other depicts an action.
