Conscious of

Hi

In the first case, yes, she is aware of not being told the truth

In the second case, I'm not sure. You could say that, being conscious of what it means to be arrested, she realises that she ought not to have been arrested

When I say "She is conscious of being told the lie ."Does it mean she's aware of not being told the truth?

I think so.

And when I say "She is conscious of being arrested." Does it mean she's aware to be not arrested?

Should be the opposite. She knows she is being arrested. But, perhaps, she isn't sure of the reason why.

Let me add something, conscious can give the sentence a couple of ways to interpret it.

I'm not sure though, but it may also mean:

She is worried of being arrested.

She is careful not to be arrested.

She is thinking seriously of bei

Ah, I see what you mean. I was talking about being arrested and being conscious of what that means

But you're quite right, I can walk down the street, innocent and free, but I might be conscious of being arrested - worried about it. Yes, definitely
