lagosrd: "Been" is an inflection of the verb 'be'. It refers to the past or an action that started in the past and is continuing into the present. We only use "been" with the three "h" helping verbs - has, have and had. E.g. I have been to Dubai once. He has been living in Lagos for many years now. They had been seated in the hall before the artiste arrived. "Being" is a present continuous participle for the verb "be" E.g. The man is being accused of theft. We are being considered for the captaincy position. Being the breadwinner of the family is tasking. I hope this will suffice. 3 Likes |

excomarow: It's true that people confuse the use of: There, Their and They're. There means in, of or to that place. It could also mean to exist, that's the existential there. E.g. Please, sit there. There are ten pupils in the classroom. Their. This is a possessive pronoun indicating what some people own or what belongs to them. E.g. The house belongs to Jack and Jill, it is their house. They're. This is simply the contracted or shortened form of "they are". E.g. They're Nigerians. Look at this: The teacher asked them to put their books there if they're done. 2 Likes |

Pelumar: Their means someone or people own or have something. Examples, 1. She is their first daughter. (It means the lady is owned by the unnamed parents). 2. Their house is just two streets away from mine. (They own the house) On the other hand, there means that place OR it is often used to start a sentence. Examples, 1. There's something about that girl (Like I said, it is often used to start a sentence. It doesn't show any form of possession). 2. There are two boys in my class now. (Again, starting a sentence without any form of possession). 3. I will be there (that place) 4. He was there when the armed robber was arrested (that place). In summary, whenever you want to say that someone owns or possess something, use their. However, where that is not the case, use there. Combination: Over there (that place) in England, English is their (possession) first language. I hope this helps... 2 Likes |

henrybangs44:been is past participle. If you ever see have, had or has, just know that you MUST use been. That's almost only when you should use been I have been waiting for you He has been my assistant for the past two weeks She had already been out for 2 hours when I got back. You should use being if there's is, are, am, was, were I think I am being followed He is being strong headed 2 Likes |
