Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the good tips! Examples: 1) What a day! I have been as busy as a beaver all day. 2) As he looked back on it, the misfortune had been a blessing in disguise. He learned a valuable lesson from it. 3) Why are you being grumpy all morning? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? 4) Back in the day, she was being timid, but not anymore. 5) Being shy, he had stage fright, but as time went by he grew out of it.

[@NamNguyenVan-bz4wx]

In the last video, you have focused us on a very useful idea, "practice makes perfect ". In today's video, we have a opportunity to pactise our knowledge about how to use "been" and "being". Here are my examples: we have been anxiety since our sewerage system didn't work properly. she feels very happy knowing that her husband is being applauded as the winner of a sports competition. Our people had been very poor because of the state ownership regime. We weren't poor anymore thanks to application of private ownership regime. Being a hard worker is a requirement to learn a foreign language.

[@BeyondtheGrind-p8p]

Great video! I really appreciate the clarity you provided on the topic. However, I have to say that I still find the distinctions between "been" and "being" a bit confusing at times. I wonder if some might argue that it’s overly complicated for learners, especially when native speakers often use them interchangeably in casual conversation. What do you all think?

[@JForrestEnglish]

It is confusing, but I think it's important to understand the nuances even if native speakers aren't always precise. 😉

[@radhafernandoponnamperumag7051]

1.present perfect- I have been to MCG ground twice. 2. Past perfect - she had been incredibly busy those days. 3.Present continuous - she is being so rude now. 4.
