Hello,
Here you shouldn't put the verbs in the present simple. Use the present "continuous" instead("Be + -ing").
Now, to be honest it could be in the past as well..
Hope this helps.

Bonjour oxford

As basic statements of fact, most of these sentences are correct. But to express an action that is happening now or in the past, rather than just a simple statement, brettdallen's suggestions are good ones.

Check this sentence: She lies on the bed on her belly and hides her face with a pillow.

Hope this helps.
