How to Use BEING (verb, gerund, participle, noun)

  • Опубликовано: 26 май 2020
  • BEING is a confusing word. This is because it has multiple functions, including as part of a verb (is being, am being, are being, was being, were being) to describe a behavior or attitude or to show a passive continuous action (is being given); it can be a gerund (being happy is important); it can be a participle (being tall, John made the basketball team); or it can be a noun (human being).
    In this video, we look at all these functions, with sample sentences, so that you can apply them correctly in your writing.

    Hey Adam. Greetings!
    I've come across a small issue thinking about something that I should have done but thinking that in English. So, it came to me the doubt: "should I use EXCHANGE, TRADE, or SWAP verb?"
    I've searched a lot and ended learning like this: SWAP and EXCHANGE are similar, moreover could be the same for TRADE. However, TRADE is preferably for exchanging or swapping that involves any kind of values.
    What do you think?

    Hi Adam. Hope everything is fine.
    Can I ask you whether my sentence bellow is correct?
    "Glad to know they keep being cared for by such loving people "
    It doesn't seem to be a passive sentence, though that wasn't my intention and I ended up writing a gerund.
    This gerund and participle subject is so confusing!
    Thanks in advance.

      We don't usually use the passive with non-action verbs (like, love, etc. ) also, the main verb is like, not swimming. Being is a gerund after like (I like being tall).

    Hello, I loved this lesson. However, I still don't understand the function of "being" in the following: "What if I told you that breakfast being the most important meal of the day was wrong?" I think something was omitted in the sentence. Could it be "What if I told you that (considering) breakfast being the most important meal of the day was wrong" or maybe "What if I told you that (the fact that) breakfast is the most important meal of the day was wrong?" Thank you in advance for your attention!

    "Chief Minister Pinarayi said that the lockdown may have affected the state of mind of many children and they may be more sensitive to parents’ scolding or other domestic issues.
