Rapsainot: where to use "been" & being?...... Thanks in advance

To understand this, what we use to determine the tense of verb in a sentence is to check if the action is completed. Usually, a past or perfect verb form denotes a completed action or a state or habitual action which began in the past.

So to your question, both words are participles of verb 'be'. 'Been' (be+ed) is the past participle, while 'being' (be+ing) is the present. Primarily, 'been' + have/has/had is used to tell of a 'state' or experience of a place or something. Consider the examples below:

1. State

I have been good.
They have been phenomenal.

2. Experience of a Place or Something

I have been to Ghana.
They have been to Kenya.
She has been to Sambisa.
The strike had been called off.

Please note that the examples above are in different perfect tenses which I would t want to bore you about.

'Being' on the other hand is the present participle that can be used in the continues/progressive or present tense or passive voice. You also use it to basically express a state. Consider these:

1. She is being kind.
2. They are being silly.
3. They were being intimidated. Example three is not a perfect tense because it indicates a continuous action in the past. We don't know if it was a completed action. It's quite different from this:
4. They were intimidated. (Past perfect tense)

Simply put, 'been' is past; 'being' is continuous. One important thing in grammar is to read beautiful literary texts for one's development.

I hope it helps. If you have more questions or confused still, do let me know.

NB: Pls, excuse all typos - if any.

its Amazing you're always allowing yourself to be deceived.
the marking and grading format for GCE's exams I reiterate again that its 50, 40, 10... this is the format we're given at the marking centre.. the 'SYLLABUS' was made in other to prepare you and push you to the limits!! 'MARKERS' use "marking guides" and "marking schemes... Which would be more authentic??!! ..... I only decided to share my experience and Expertise with those that'll be writing this examination.. its not for everyone to take not of but for the wise and serious students..
Your really need to learn how to communicate on the internet not everyone is spoken to rashly..

One more thing ...if you're writing GCE then your English is in danger... work on it!!

. yea.. it only accounts for 10% of the total marks.. the practicals takes a whooping 50% and Essay takes 40... for physics, chemistry, Biology.. I can authoritatively reiterate.. Though the suggestion on the syllabus is different from the one on the marking and grading scheme!

Exactly, you get it. I won't mind taking you deeper into English verb forms but since I don't know what you have been thought before. God's best.
