Examination is actually the spoiler and vibe killer in schools. But, no one can actually progress in school without writing exams.

A lot of desperation and seriousness comes with examinations. Students try to avoid carry-overs while others aim at making the highest grades possible.

I was in the examination hall one certain day. In the middle of the exam, I just went blank. I wasted more than four minutes trying to write severe.
To make matters worse, the guy sitting to my right was our pastor and no matter the situation, he won't reply you during examination.
He later came and met me after the exam to apologize.

Share your own experience.


I don't seem to forget spellings but you see forgetting a full step during calculations, that's my specialty.

I would remember the next step and also know there are step/steps i have forgotten.

Yes grin twice. First was "around", ended up spelling it as arround.
Second time was when I tried writing "society", spelt it as soceity.
Coincidentally, both times were in GNS exams.
It's often caused by tension though.

Truth is your last paragraph confused me... Thanks anyway..


Ithink the word is demonic. cheesy
Hahahaha....I tried to copy and paste though but I think is self explanatory enough. It means something like this....

Use Been when you see words like (has, have, had etc)
Use Being when you see words like (is, was, were etc)
However, like you said those words dey somehow jare honestly grin

Being-this is a continuous tense, e.g she is being stubborn, I am being forced to take up the task
Been-past I have been to obudu cattle ranch, the baby has been fed, This has been going on for quite a while...
English can be complicated atimes...
Now for my own lost word during exam, it was "what", WASSCE for that matter

Nice!

they both depend on a lexical verb to express a complete meaning. Been can only be used with the three anomalous verbs ~~ has, have and had. For example, he has been killed (expressed a completed action) while being is used with auxiliary verbs --- is, was, am etc.
candidlady is being flogged by the boys. (expressed an ongoing action) . Candidlady has been flogged by the boys. Noted the verbs.
