Egypt:is "BEING" the same as "BE"??

Question

EX: i mean sb is being happy is he the same as sb who is happy?

Answer 1

hihihih thats funny.. the important thing is to be happy.

but if your asking seriously they both carry almost the same meaning

but different tenses being means continuous,, was and still is happy

while be means right now he is happy.

Answer 2

you say , being , when the person is BEING in the continuous tense .

it isnt used with ,Happy .

it can be used with , Being Helpful .

in other words , Being , has to be used with something you are being intentionally .

he is being resentful.

he is being harmful .

ie , he is actively being somthing .

Answer 3

need some special sort kind of understanding to know or understand the questions or the answers

is it grammar???

Answer 4

Mmmmmm (Abd Allah ely fi wanis) :D

What do u think about "Bee"?

Answer 5

no, "being" is a gerund

"be" in an infinitive

Both have the same meaning but different in grammatical context.

Here= 'being' can mean pretend but 'be' isn't.

of course i can go on forever but this is ok. :)

Answer 6

"Being" is the continuous tense of "to be" and is used to denote something that is happening now, or at the moment of speaking, but "is" is the present simple tense used to show that something usually happens, or generally happens.  So the meaning differs according to whether it is a general statement or a specific one happening at the moment of speaking. Hope the following examples help:

1. He is naughty in general / everyday [OR] He is always naughty.

2. He is being naughty at the moment / now / today only.
