The Being. 1.The learning of not only what is to be learned but also the environment. 2.The Peak if achieved that peaked being. 3. The totality of the Being, not actuality about maturity because it has many variety in meaning and can't be measured in time, it's the awareness and knowingness and consciousness which constitute the Being of whatever time period of life or existence. Forcing? If it's fake the result will be fake and in time signature you shall be registered as fakes if fake and everything you do are nullified like in gathering members or bullying or suppressing. And in reality because the Creator of Everything is real, what shall be started copy pasted to what's real in each and everyone.

No worries, Jatin! Feel free to ask questions!

East Bengal club vacillated from being dominated to promising. "Being" here is what??? Present participle or gerund ? Please sir answer. I am very confused
Hi teacher Ashish, can you teach us about(being plus prepositions and adjectives like being in the room and being angry at you)
Hello, MJ!
It's like any other verb in the progressive form. The only difference is that it doesn't show a physical action.
• Dancing in the party
• Being in the party (being there)
• Looking angry at me
• Being angry at me (acting angry at me)
You could msg me on my Instagram page for getting your doubts cleared!

Sir ,Some people don't like being corrected.
What's the use of "being corrected "in the above sentence? Is it as a gerund or as a participle ?
Please explain.
Hello, Manindra!
It's a gerund phrase; it's working as the object of the verb LIKE.
LIKE WHAT = being corrected
Hope this helps!
Dear Mr. Ashishi thanks a lot for your extraordinary efforts and valuable courses i have a question.
""being an element having combined pollution and radioactivity effects, uranium has attracted a much scientific interests in the last decade""
this sentence in is in being form. dose it correct and good or grammatically confused, hard to read or poor written?
again thanks a lot from deep of my heart.
Replace the participle phrase with s THAT CLAUSE.
Thank you for the kind words, Khaled!
@@EnglishWithAshish thanks a lot for your guide and time i converted to that clause is not write ""‘uranium element, that having combined pollution and radioactivity effects, has attracted a much scientific interests in the last decade""
Being an element that combines pollution and radioactivity effects, Uranium has attracted much scientific interests in the last decade.
How about this? ;)
Appreciate your love and support! :)

Hello Sir,
(There is a high probability of the elections being spread across seven to eight phases.)
What is the use of "being spread " here? Is it as a gerund or as a participle? Please explain Sir.

Who told that we cant turn on and off feelings and emotions, there are persons have ability to do this who is called an actor😀😀
Haha! You seem to be in the mix too! 😆
Sir your teaching theory is quite good , but I have doubt that before feeling and emotion we can not use being then how it come in seriouse is it not feeling sir
Seriousness is state of being that we can deliberately get into. Hope this answers your doubt. Thank you for the comment! ❤️
Sir, there is a sentence- contract being awarded, no verb is used in this sentence, pls explain
It's not a sentence; it's just a phrase.
Can we write a passive sentence without changing the sentence structure? like
I'm being written the letter.
No. And the sentence is incorrect. Watch my lesson on how to use passive voice.

Alright!thak you.
Aashish ji I have a doubt 🤷♂️ in this topic. For example in simple present I am in Chennai can we change this tense to continuous tense what my answer is I am Being in Chennai is it right if it is wrong tell me ji what is the mistake in it?
"To be" + being is used to talk about the continuous state of a person or a change done by someone else.
I am being forced to dance.
I am being honest right now.
He is not being smart.
They are being beaten.
"I am being in Chennai" doesn't make much sense to me. It does not show the continuous state of being that you're in.
Just say, "I am in Chennai."
Hope this helps! :)
@@EnglishWithAshish thank you for ur reply Aashish ji
Hello sir,
"He was making his statement about maoists being the biggest internal security thteat to India."
What is use of being here ??
Please explain..
It's an adjective (present participle)
Being scared of dogs(participle clause). Because I am scared of dogs(tense). Sir why do we use participle clause instead of tense like present tense.. Here.... Generally we use participle clause. Why... Instead of tense... Sir plz tell reason
That is the beauty of the English language. We can see the same things using different structures/patterns.
You can use the structure what you are good at. Nothing to worry about!
Thank u sir

Could you please tell me?
1)he Would be played
2)It would be eaten
3)He would be done
1)She would be playing
2)He would be eating
3)It would be working
When we have to use this sentences?What is the time of period we want to use?
Could you please?
Could you please tell me sir?
Hello!
WOULD has multiple usages in English.
From your sentences, you seem to be using it in future. But remember, it only shows imaginary situations.
• She would come to my house tomorrow. ( Not sure if she really would )
• We would be doing something on our own in future. ( Not sure, hypothetically speaking )
• He would be eaten/played.
You can't eat somebody. Choose the right word for the passive meaning.
Hope it helps!
@@EnglishWithAshish Thank you so much sir big help
Anytime, brother. Working for you guys!

I don't want to stay out here, being bitten by insects
I read this example in oxford book of grammar while reading participle passive continuous plz explain its meaning how we can write simply plz
I don't want to stay here as I am being bitten by inserts. The participle phrase is giving a reason for the main clause.
is it right to say
While I was being at home,Amr phoned me
Good afternoon Sir.{(1) Pasta is being cooked by my mother. (2) Jenny, being a poor, works in a medical store. (3) My friend is being sarcastic. (4) The patient refused being admitted to the hospital. (5) I don't like being given orders (by the people). } Thank you kindly.
Great job! 👏
@@EnglishWithAshish Thank you.
@Amar Verma yes we can
Being ordered =passive form(being+v3)
The effect of the action on subject 'i'
being a teacher= a gerund phrase;
being a passionate blogger= participle phrase?
how in the first sentence being is a noun,
and the second being is an adjective?
How do you decide that? It's absolutely absurd to name them without using them in a sentence and see what they do there.
@@EnglishWithAshish
I didn't "decide" anything that was just my way to ask a question.
Hoping for a miracle they took the ill person to a godman. " Hoping for a miracle " ... Participle phrase? Plz reply.
Yes
"Being a teacher" you said it is a gerund. "Being a passionate blogger" you said it is participle clause. How come that🤔? "Being a passionate blogger" is also a Gerund. If not, please explain in detail🙏
It's how it's used; it's not in the structure.
Being a teacher is a responsibility. (Subject)
Being a teacher, I have to do it the right way. (Adjective)
They both look the same but are functioning differently in the sentences.
Pasta is being cooked by my mother. Being poor, Jenny works in a medical store. My friend is being sarcastic. The patients refused being admitted to the hospital. I don't like being given orders.
Good job! 👏
@@EnglishWithAshish thanks!
Being English is the second language, I face some problems in understanding it. Does the sentence sound right?
Yes
Thanks.
He avoided being killed
Can We interpret it like
He was being killed which he avoided
??
He was about to be killed, but he avoided it.
Or
He was being killed in some time, which he avoided.
Heavenly bodies were created out of quintessences, which was supposed to be the fifth essence, the other four being earth, water, air and sky.

I am going to school ( how to use being here)
Why would you use BEING here?
You will have change the context in order to use BEING.
I'm being taken to school.
Active: Someone is taking me to school.
Hope the answer helps, Subrata!
@@EnglishWithAshish what will be passive voice of above mentioned sentence?? Means I am going to school
@@subratadasgupta5097 we can't make passive voice of above tense becz there is no object in above tense "I'm going to school " I is subject am going is verb and to school is complement not object
As
A clause has subject and verb. In being scared of dogs being is subject what is verb here. Is scared 2nd form of verb here ? Kindly clear the myth sir
Third form
And a clause has the combination of a subject and a verb
@@EnglishWithAshish sir it is not compulsory that clause has a proper structure like tense?
He will be being interrogated by this time tomorrow...is this grammatically correct sir???
No, it's not.
@@EnglishWithAshish then,how to frame a sentence which gives same meaning as i mentioned??
He will have been interrogated by this time tomorrow.
@@EnglishWithAshish sir this is the passive voice for future completed action but I need passive voice for future continuous action
There isn't any.. for that.
The poor are being fed. The poor refer to plural hence to be verb to be used is are and not is. Please check and clear my doubt. Your example is Our NGO is feeding the poor.
That's right, Subhash. We usually do that to create a class: using an adjective as a noun by using the definite article THE before it.
The rich don't understand the problems the poor face every day.
What are you being conveyed to people from this
Is it right sentence?
No
What you are trying to convey to people from this video?
I'm so disturbed with the automatical typing of words bellow the video. If you can use more better way it will be very useful
You might have turned the captions on by mistake. Turn it off.

2) Being poor, Jenny works in a medical store.
3)My friend is being sarcastic.
4)The patients refused being admitted to the hospital.
5)I don't like being given orders.
