Verbs lie, stand and description of pictures
Hello everybody,
I have a question concerning the following sentences... Which one is correct or can you say both? (I know that for a description of pictures you normally use the continuous for actions (In the picture she is talking to friends..., But what about verbs like sit, stand etc., aren't they more like stative verbs?)
In the picture she lies on the bed.
In the picture she is lying on the bed.
In the picture he stands in the background.
In the picture he is standing in the background.
