    The two sentences that use the word "lean" correctly are the following: "After the earthquake in Crete, the water tower leans more than 15 degrees to the right.", and "The voters are leaning toward the mayoral candidate with more government experience.". In the first sentence, the verb "lean" has been conjugated in the simple present tense and it is an example of the first meaning described above "1. to bend from a vertical position". In other words, after that natural disaster the water tower bent to the right. In the second sentence, the verb "lean" has been conjugated in the present progressive tense and it is an example of the third meaning described above "3. to incline in opinion, taste, or desire". In other words, the voters are inclined to support the mayoral candidate with more government experience.
